Code Select Link in the Forums

The Siduction forums have a feature where a link is generated to copy code (text within the code tag).  Clicking the link copies the code to your clipboard.  I think that would be a nice feature, if possible, for the forums here.

Like on the scrot.moe site the "Copy" buttons? Yes, that's a useful feature indeed. Instead of select -> click -> copy just press the button...

a. Doesn't seem to require tons of code

(But I haven't dig deep)

b. ff extension (right click to get menu / select copy to clipboard < skips selecting anything), also mentions single-click, but could not get that to work.

Triple-clicking on a code box copies the text to the PRIMARY buffer, a middle-click will then paste the text, even into an xterm or urxvt window  8)

We don't need no stinkin' CLIPBOARD...  8o

a) Wayland

Works for me™ in my GNOME desktop under Wayland 

and b) OtherOS (Windows, OSX, QubesOS, ...).

People should use proper operating systems, that's not an unreasonable request  8o

Re: Code Select Link in the Forums

adding a button means pain and layout changes.

Maybe ondblclick (It won't require any visual changes then)? I don't think a single-click-copy-to-clipboard is something user would expect to happen.

Yes, similar functionality.  Copy buttons also used on the Postimage site.
