SID-02501: Instant copy all code from code block

I use the Syntax Highlighting Plugin when displaying code and I like to display the code with the row numbers. But when I want to copy the code from the block the row numbers are copied as well. Is there a button or a way to copy the code with one click without the need to select all the code beforehand and to have the numbers on the left selected as well?

Discussion and Answer

That would be a useful enhancement to be able to copy just the source code, e.g. without line numbers. I envision a [Copy] button at the upper right of the code section, enabled with a new copy="on" parameter.

TWiki is open source; please consider supporting open source software. You could enhance the plugin to provide that functionality (using jQuery and JavaScript), and contribute that back to the community, or you could hire one of the TWikiConsultants to do that for you (including myself).
