(Feature Request) Copy button on code snippets and code notes

[Br0kenSilos]

I don't know if this is possible or how hard it would be to implement but, it would be really nice if there was a "copy" button on code snippets and code notes. As an example, Lets say I have a code snippet set as Powershell. (Those new snippets with the syntax highlighting are awesome by the way!) In the upper right hand corner there is a little "tag" stating the snippet is powershell. Would it be possible to add a little link to copy all of the code in that snippet to the clipboard? If adding a link would take up too much room, perhaps the clicking the powershell "tag" itself would just default to copying the snippet?

Check out this widget: Copy Code Block Widget. Simply double-click a code block to copy its contents!

Yes. This seems to work good. Thank you for creating and sharing it. Any chance of merging it into the base code for Trilium Next?

heh! I love "Please stand up and stretch your body for a while if you see this :)"

@Br0kenSilos , I don't see it merged in TriliumNext unless we implement it as a button instead of double-clicking, in order to be more intuitive for new users.

@eliandoran , Yes I agree. Perhaps "merge" was the wrong term for me to use. @Nriver 's plugin provides the basic functionality I am looking for. That being said, I would love to see this kind of functionality, with a designated "copy" button added to Trilium Next. I think an actual built-in function, with a "Copy Code" button would be a great addition to the program and it would provide a very clear purpose for the button.

I’d love to see this feature come to Trilium Next as well! A dedicated “Copy Code” button would be super helpful and much more intuitive than double-clicking—especially for newer users. Having it built-in would really polish the experience when working with code snippets. Big thumbs up from me! 👍
