Copying and Pasting Code.
Hi all.

Just a little thing.

Is there any way where someone can simply right click, select all and copy only the text that is enclosed in a text box?

Maybe it is me, but when I try that it selects the complete post text.

I was thinking that it would be handy for someone who want to use the code given in a reply.

I realise it is not a big deal to drag over the text to hightlight it, just thought it would make it simpler.

Deep.

Well, you can do it in a reply, the quote button works nicely...

For other posts, is it really too much to ask for to drag and copy? I think a box like that would be a little bit too much work for somthing we don't need that much.

Not what the poster wants... he/she does not want to have to drag/delete unwanted text...

Is it just me or do computers make people look for the easy/lazy way out...

That's true buck. Just a thought when a larger code block is given for a solution. (Can't help using them. They're cute with their little hats).
