Hi there,  
I was just wondering if anyone else likes the idea of having a copy button in the right corner of a code block? I have seen it on many websites and especially for my setup documentation it would be nice to be able to copy code blocks to clipboard directly.

I found this feature request that was moved to the backlog [Feature request: Copy button for code snippets · Issue #345 · silverbulletmd/silverbullet · GitHub](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/issues/345)

What are your thoughts on that?

If there are some People here that would like to see this feature coming, I guess my rookie web dev skills could help creating this feature.

I would use this feature daily too, as my personal instance is full with hundreds of code snippets that I use in the terminal on a regular basis

Conveniently, there’s already a relevant icon in the set used for the top bar:

> **[Feather – Simply beautiful open source icons](https://feathericons.com/?query=copy)**
>
> Feather is a collection of simply beautiful open source icons. Each icon is designed on a 24x24 grid with an emphasis on simplicity, consistency and readability.

Good luck with the feature, this is a really nice codebase to work in. Far from the usual web dev mess, especially around Node JS.
