Hi, would it be possible to add a small button on the code fence that would copy whatever is inside the fence?
It would be a nice feature to have.

I would see this more as a plugin, but it’s still sounds useful!

I second this, very useful for storing code snippets in notes.
It is easy to implement. Here is an example and also the implementation:
I fully agree! This would be a great feature to have! It’s one of the little things I am really missing at the moment. I have a lot of code snippets that I have to copy every day.
Such a feature would be very comfortable and would make the note-taking flow
even more fluent.
I would propose the following behaviours:
- A simple click on the code block will copy it’s content to the clipboard
- A click on a small icon in the upper right corner will do the same
A possible UI implementation could look like this:
Keep up the great work!

I agree with this option as well, coming from Bear I have become used to Right Click > Copy Code Block A button in the top right would be an improvement over Bear.
I generally use an autocorrect/text expander for anything likely to be used regularly. Can be used in any program, needs no mouse and fast.
This would be a great feature to have! I use Obsidian daily as reference for code and CLI things so a copy option would be welcome!

Hey all,
I just added a plug-in for this, just search for code block copy.
Code is here:
Let me know if there are suggestions to improve it.

I just tried it, this is awesome!
Thank you!
@danbburg I have tried your plugin right now 
It works fantastic! This should be implemented as an integral part of Obsidian! It’s so useful!
Thank you very much for this contribution! 
Really awesome! Thanks for this.
