(It kind of drives me crazy that you'll have news articles about people fighting on twitter and I started thinking about how there are at least a dozen things in my timeline that are more interesting and exciting.)

I find it really hard to hightlight and copy a users address on this interface because when you go to highlight it tries to make you click to the profile... where there is ALSO no easy way to highlight and copy the user's address...Anyone know of an easy way to do this?

@futurebird Ugh tell me about it. As a dyslexic trying to remember how to spell mr... mymer... and damn it I'll just search for ants in the full search, and copy the name. Except I can't copy the user from the profile page or the search page. So write it down on a bit of paper and carefully type it into a post.It would be helpful if I could say "@ that ant lady" and it just listed all the ant ladies sorted by interaction strength. Instead of trying to match the specific name/username.

@Adventurer It opens a tool tip? I can highlight and copy there. Thanks!

@futurebird ah... yeah, this is a display fail rather than a complete UI fail: when you go to a user's profile page and click on their username, only the name is presented as highlighted (not the domain). *However*, when this happens, the entire address has been selected. Go ahead and <ctrl-c> (or <command-c>), and you've copied the entire address.

@JamesWidman I'm an old lady who thinks if it looks like text I ought to be able to highlight it and copy it. If I want the "follow/unfollow" tool tip I could click on the icon??

@futurebird oh but note: if you hold down option or alt, you can select link text as if it's normal text (without following the link)

@futurebird I use the Ivory app and I do have to go to the profile page but then just hold my finger down on the address and I can copy it.

@futurebird another option is to visit their profile and pull it out of the end of the URL

@futurebird Mastodon app and browser: Tap/click the server next to their user name. You can copy the full handle there.

@futurebird There is an equally bad #UX fail when I want to 'at' people and start typing their ids, the UI suggests people who have nothing to do with the thread I'm posting in, nothing to do with ppl I've conversed with recently, etc. So its just adding _noise_ to my effort to address the people I want. @Gargron

@futurebird Sadly this seems to not be working on my Linux system. Or maybe it's browser-specific instead.

@futurebird i always resort to selecting a space character on either side of the handle, so the first thing I click isn’t a piece of active hypertext
