Jean Sans Peur<p>Vous savez comment on peut copier des images avec leur ALT quand il existe ? Pour moi, le ALT apparaît généralement dans des infobulles et il n'est pas possible de le copier/coller, donc je le recopie à la main.</p><p>Si ce n'est pas possible, ce serait une chouette idée que de créer cette fonctionnalité (ou aussi la possibilité de faire un glisser/déposer en gardant le ALT). <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/alternativeTextuelle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alternativeTextuelle</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/alternativetext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alternativetext</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/alttext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alttext</span></a></p>
