This extension works only for Chrome, as other browsers do not expose the system clipboard to Javascript.

Hotkeys:

  • CTRL+V - Paste image from system clipboard

You can specify a target subdirectory using the dragdrop.subdirectory parameter in the notebook configurator. This is the same subdirectory as used in the dragdrop extension.

Internals

The image pasted from clipboard will be uploaded to the notebook directory. A unique ID will be generated as image filename.
