[FEATURE] give code blocks/code snippets an optional copy button

[TachyonWolf]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Not a problem as much as a time save. I'd love a option in the settings to add a copy button to all code block.

Describe the solution you'd like

As above, just a copy button on all code block if you enable it in the options.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Not sure, I just copy it from the editor or preview right now.

Additional context

Example from github:

Of course I would suggest setting it up as an option so it does not alter the look of existing notebooks unless they want this feature. :)

Output from the debug section in the settings dialog

None.

Can you please describe what you mean by "code snippet" and where you found them in the settings?

Do you mean code blocks in notes you created?

[TachyonWolf]

@pbek Sorry! this is ACTUALLY my first github feature request! I think I fixed the issues!

[TachyonWolf]

Also I am professional software dev, C# is my main, but I have done C++ before as well as many other languages (non professionally). If this seems like a good idea I could try my hand at implementing it.

But where do you want a copy button and why?

[TachyonWolf]

Where: The same as github does, on the top right, the code block would have to expand a TINY bit to allow it to fit. But it woluld just be there.

Why: I use QOwnNotes to record useful command similar to like we do here on git hub. I can record a app I like and copy its commands to install on to the note so I can have them for easy use later! A single click to copy the whole block rather then dragging a selection over the whole thing would save me time! :)

[pbek]

There is a context menu in the note editor that can copy it. It's very hard to put an actual button in the note editor.

[TachyonWolf]

This is true! I'd love to be able to have it in the preview. That is how I look at my notes. But if that's still hard, I'd say putting in the context menu in the preview when you right click a code block! :)
