All I really want is a crisp way to get the alphanumeric file- descriptor safely away from the youtube window and into a youtube-dl call - cut and paste would be a significant improvement on copying it, usually incorrectly, character by character

I just tried it, copying and pasting the url from some youtube page, and youtube-dl was able to get the file from it with no problem. Why do you have to enter them character by character?
