Apparently Safari has this feature. It seems neat.

This works. There may be an more elegant way to hook into "paste", though.

Comment on attachment 583291 [details] [diff] [review] patch Sorry for the delay in getting around to reviewing this. >+ try { >+ trans.getAnyTransferData(type, data, {}); >+ if (flavors.indexOf(type.value) == -1) Transferables can only ever return flavours that you added to them, so this check is entirely unnecessary. >+ [url, name] = data.value.QueryInterface(Ci.nsISupportsString).data.split("\n"); >+ } catch (ex) {} Separate try/catch blocks are preventing you from declaring your variables here (and even I wouldn't use var as a workaround). I don't see any downside to having one catch to rule them all. >+ <key id="pasteKey" >+ key="V" >+ modifiers="accel" >+ oncommand="pasteHandler();"/> I can't remember whether this will conflict with the search textbox (I assume here that you want Accel+V to have its usual effect there) and SeaMonkey's download manager uses a proper command controller which definitely won't conflict with the textbox so I can give you f+ but not r+.

I tested - the <key> doesn't interfere with pasting in the text box.

*ROFL* See Bug 506881, 3-year duplicate closed as WONTFIX. Anyway this 'trick' is practical, great to see it added. Just a question: - pasting an URL in the download manager is allowed, - dragging & dropping an element of a webpage into the download manager is allowed, Why dragging & dropping directly an URL from the location bar into the download manager is not allowed? May I fill a bug for that?
