About this extension

Retrieve a dead link from an archive service with these shortcuts:
* CTRL+3: get an archive.org link (Wayback Machine) and copy the archive link to the clipboard
* CTRL+4: get an archive.is link and copy the archive link to the clipboard
* CTRL+5: get an webcitation.org link and copy the archive link to the clipboard
* CTRL+6: retrieve the current page from Google Cache

If you want to get an archive link for a page that no longer exists, either:
* right click the dead link and select the appropriate option
* press CTRL+3, CTRL+4, CTRL+5 and CTRL+6 on the talk page with only one link (works on wiki talk pages only that use MediaWiki)
* right click on the page you want to restore and select the option you wish
* Customize the toolbar and add the toolbar icon. Now you can use the toolbar icon too :)

Release notes for 4.0.0

Technical
* Cleanup code to make it more maintainable
* Use Clipboard Web API instead of execCommand workarounds
** This increases the Firefox requirement to (minimum) version 63
** This should be more reliable then in the past
* Remove workaround to open as related tab, this is now supported natively

Features
* For the message "Page could not be loaded", include the URL
* Add date from archive URL to notification when known
* nl.wikipedia.org: BREAK/PAUSE now pastes the partial template for an archived URL
* Re-introduce the "auto" option for search, using the search API (requires the search permission)

Changes
* Set getarchive_disable_all_shortcuts to true by default
* Drop the Preferences contextmenu item on the toolbar icon, this does the same as "Manage extension" added by Firefox

Bugs
* Fix some bugs
** Paste by BREAK/PAUSE or INSERT would put the cursor in the wrong place. This is no longer the case.
