Typo
  • Code blocks have a maximum height, after which any extra content scrolls vertically. This can make it tricky to copy the code for testing or adjusting when answering a question, or assessing an answer. Sometimes while trying the highlight the code in the code block ready for copying, other text on the page suddenly becomes highlighted too.
  • ```text
  • Some example code
  • Some example code
  • Some example code
  • Some example code
  • Some example code

  • Would it be feasible to have a way of copying the full content of the code block, perhaps a button next to the code block?
  • I'm not sure the best way to do this without getting in the way of reading the code block, but I thought it might be worth discussing options.

Quick copy button for code blocks
Code blocks have a maximum height, after which any extra content scrolls vertically. This can make it tricky to copy the code for testing or adjusting when answering a question, or assessing an answer. Sometimes while trying the highlight the code in the code block ready for copying, other text on the page suddenly becomes highlighted too.
