Can "callout" feature add a "copy" button?

We strongly recommend you to search the forum with possible keywords before making a new feature request. If your request is very similar to an existing one, consider liking it and/or making a comment rather than making a new one. Once you’ve searched and determined that this is a new request, delete this line.

Use case or problem

There is a great feature in the code block:

There is a button at the top right corner of the code block to let me quickly copy the whole codes. That is a handy feature at most scenarios.

But there isn’t a button in the callout block:

Proposed solution

I think the callout deserves a copy button at the same corner, too. Just like the red icons I painted in the image I posted.

Current workaround (optional)

There is no workaround now, I can only copy the content by selecting them and copy with context menu or keyboard shortcuts.

This would be very good.

I think this is a great idea as well :slight_smile: curious why it belongs more in Plugin Ideas than Feature Requests?

Am here looking for this very feature, lol.

It’d be esspecially helpful for QnA style forms so I can copy my answers into other documents / online forms.

Currently using code blocks so can copy, but wish I could use the callouts style as it looks nicer.

Some one has made a plugin for this that you can install using BRAT

Haha ya that’s mine, a while after reading this thread I decided to go ahead and build it. Should be available now in the official plugin catalogue :slight_smile: Callout Copy Buttons
