Stack Overflow Code Copy Button

Introduction

The "Stack Overflow Code Copy" Tampermonkey script enhances the Stack Overflow experience by adding a convenient "Copy" button to each code block on question pages. This functionality allows users to quickly and easily copy code snippets without manually selecting the content.

Features

Copy Button

  • Easy Access: A "Copy" button is positioned at the top-right corner of each code block.
  • Instant Copy: Clicking the button instantly copies the code to the clipboard.

Seamless Integration

  • Unobtrusive Design: The button fits naturally within the Stack Overflow interface.
  • Efficient Performance: The script runs without impacting page load times or performance.

Why Use This Script?

Convenience

Eliminates the need to manually select code, which can be cumbersome and error-prone, especially with longer snippets.

Time-Saving

Reduces the steps needed to copy code, saving time for users who need to quickly gather and apply solutions.

Accuracy

Ensures the entire code block is copied exactly as is, without missing parts or adding extra whitespace or characters.

How It Works

When visiting a question page on Stack Overflow, the script:

  1. Scans for code blocks within <pre> tags.
  2. Creates a "Copy" button for each code block.
  3. Positions the button in the top-right corner of the code block.
  4. Sets up the button to copy the code block content to the clipboard when clicked.

Installation

To install the script:

  1. Install the Tampermonkey extension for your browser.
  2. Create a new script in Tampermonkey and paste the content of this script into the editor.
  3. Save the script and visit any question page on Stack Overflow to see it in action.

Enhance your Stack Overflow experience by focusing on solving problems, not on copying code.
