convert/minify/copy action

[feroxy]

Would it be possible to add an additional action to perform the steps of conversion (less/sass), minify the result and then add to clipboard - ideally without those changes being applied to the code in the editor?

While it may not take much effort to do it in terms of code, it does not appear to be common enough use case since there is a manual workaround of doing that with the code, copying the code and undoing the changes.

Also, if we may add an alternative approach, we have a separate project at https://github.com/webextensions/transformers (https://webextensions.github.io/transformers/).

You may like to try it out from https://webextensions.github.io/transformers/?mode=less

There, we may add a feature of multiple sequential transforms with appropriate UI/UX.

Kindly have a look. While that still doesn't provide a direct solution to your query, it provides an alternative workaround which may also be useful for some other general use-cases of transforming text based contents.

In case you'd like the possibility of such a feature, please create an issue under https://github.com/webextensions/transformers/issues or mention your appropriate response regarding that and we will "Transfer this discussion" to that project.

Marking this discussion as closed here assuming that under current scope of this extension, this feature may not be a well-timed fit.
