I\u2019m guilty of searching at least once a day.<\/p>\n<p>Big sites like Stack Overflow have millions of snippets and there\u2019s plenty more on blogs, social sites, and tech forums. And <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/zenorocha\/codecopy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Codecopy<\/a> makes it super easy to <strong>copy those codes with one click<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a browser extension designed for Chrome, Opera, and Firefox with one simple job: adding a <strong>click-to-copy button<\/strong> onto every code snippet block. And let me say it does that job well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Read Also:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/css-snippets-for-designers\/\" rel=\"noopener\">50 Useful CSS Snippets Every Designer Should Have<\/a><\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/zenorocha\/codecopy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/this-browser-extension-quickly-copies-all-code-snippets-for-you\/01-codecopy-extension-sample.jpg\" alt=\"codecopy browser extension\" width=\"1000\" height=\"400\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Once you get this installed you\u2019ll notice every code snippet box includes the click-to-copy button in the top right corner.<\/p>\n<p>This should work on every major website like GitHub, Stack, and huge online docs like the <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en-US\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MDN site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But it also <strong>works on smaller blogs and even blog posts<\/strong> you find on Medium. It\u2019s a pretty simple browser plugin that searches each page for <strong>&lt;pre&gt;<\/strong> tags. Then it adds the click-to-copy button onto that section which lets you auto-copy the full code right to your clipboard.<\/p>\n<p>You could not ask for a simpler way of gathering snippets and working them into your projects.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/this-browser-extension-quickly-copies-all-code-snippets-for-you\/02-browser-extension-copy-to-click.jpg\" alt=\"codecopy browser add-on for snippets\" width=\"1000\" height=\"608\"><\/figure>\n<p>Since this thing works for 3 huge browsers it should provide support for the majority of developers.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know any developers who exclusively use Microsoft Edge or Safari. So with <strong>support for Chrome and Firefox(plus Opera),<\/strong> this extension should cover 99% of the dev community.<\/p>\n<p>Have a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/zenorocha\/codecopy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GitHub repo<\/a> to learn more and to download the extension files. This must be installed manually but it only takes a few steps to get it going, and these install steps are organized neatly at the bottom of the GitHub page.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A browser extentsion that adds a click-to-copy button onto every code snippet block.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[352],"tags":[],"topic":[],"class_list":["entry-content","is-maxi"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.8 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
