Hi any chance we could get a button that simply says copy code at the bottom of a code snippet, rather than having to click and drag, I know some of you might not find it a big deal, but it can be a hassle pulling long pieces of code using this method. Anyway just a suggestion.

Hi @RichardDL – you are in luck! It looks like Discourse published a full copy-code-block button feature just 9 days ago. [image] Copy codeblock contents to clipboard 📣 Now live in core Discourse is the ability to show a copy button for codeblocks! import { createWidget } from 'discou…

This would be great, saves some time and possible copy errors. I noticed the old forum had it; is there by chance a specific reason it wasn’t implemented in the current one?
