How can I select text from Google Calendar's Agenda view in Chrome?

Question

Sometimes I want to select text from the Agenda view of Google Calendar, but when I try to do so in Chrome, I'm unable to. Is there a workaround for this?

Answer 1

Install the StyleBot Chrome extension.

Select "Edit CSS" option for the default editing mode.

Go to Google Calendar, click on the StyleBot icon, click on "Open StyleBot" in the menu.

Enter the following CSS:

#gridcontainer {
    -webkit-user-select: text;
    background: #fff;
    position: relative;
}

Now you will always be able to select the text in the Google Calendar Agenda view.

There are a couple workarounds for this:

The easy way:

1. Open the calendar in Firefox, Opera, or Internet Explorer, as you can easily select text in any of those browsers

The hard way (but within Chrome):

1. In Chrome, open Developer Tools by hitting F12 (or menu button -> More tools -> Developer tools
2. The Elements tab of the Developer Tools window should be selected by default, but if not, click it
3. Click anywhere in the code to put the focus on that window
4. Hit Ctrl+f to search in the code
5. Search for "gridcontainer"
6. On the line where the text is found, right click and select "Edit as HTML"
7. Remove the text id="gridcontainer"
8. Click any other line to make Chrome show your changes
9. Select the text you want
