SSX Chat

Copy text from any chat window with a single click.

World of Warcraft doesn't let you select and copy chat messages. SSX Chat fixes that: click the small button on any chat window and a copy window opens with the entire chat history as clean, plain text — already selected, so all you need to do is press Ctrl+C.

Features

• Copy button on every chat window — including the Combat Log and pop-out whisper windows.
• Unobtrusive by design — the button is a small, semi-transparent gray icon that only brightens when you hover over it.
• Clean text — color codes, textures and icons are stripped out. Item, spell and quest links are kept as readable text, e.g. [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker].
• Ready to copy — the text opens fully selected and scrolled to the most recent messages.
• Simple copy window — movable, read-only, closes with Esc or the close button.
• Slash commands for keyboard users.

Commands

Requirements

• SSX Core (required) — the shared library used by all SSX addons. The CurseForge app installs it automatically.

Known limitations

• Addons cannot write directly to the clipboard, so the final Ctrl+C is up to you.
• Some messages are protected by the game during encounters ("secret values") and cannot be read by any addon; those lines are skipped.
• Battle.net (Real ID) friend names are protected by Blizzard and appear as ?.
• Only the messages still stored in the chat window's history can be copied.

Part of the SSX addon family

SSX Chat is part of the SSX collection of lightweight quality-of-life addons. All SSX addons share the /ssx command — type /ssx info to see everything that's installed.
