Field Name Copier

Hold a modifier key and click any Inputfield toggle to copy the field’s machine name to the clipboard — without collapsing the field.

Useful when building templates, writing selectors, or debugging.

Features

• Copies the field machine name on modifier + click
• Field stays open (no collapse)
• Optional toast confirmation
• Works on any admin Inputfield

Requirements

• ProcessWire 3.0.0+
• Modern browser (current Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari)

Installation

1. Copy the FieldNameCopier folder to /site/modules/.
2. In the admin go to Modules → Refresh, then install Field Name Copier.

Usage

Hold the configured modifier key (default: Ctrl) and click the header/toggle of any Inputfield.
The field name is copied to the clipboard. The field does not collapse.
A small toast confirms the copy (if enabled).

Configuration

Modules → Field Name Copier → Configure

Notes on modifier keys

• Alt: On some Linux desktops Alt+click is reserved for window dragging.
• Meta (⌘/Win): Unreliable on Windows; use only if you develop exclusively on macOS.
• Recommended: Ctrl or Shift for cross-platform reliability.

Behavior

• Active only on non-AJAX admin pages.
• Intercepts the click before ProcessWire’s accordion handlers collapse the field.
• Reads the machine name from the Inputfield wrapper ID (falls back to the first form element’s name attribute).
• Works regardless of debug mode.
