About

Highlighting and copying code from questions/answers is not as straightforward as one hopes it'd be. Throughout the years, there were (at least) a couple of userscripts/extensions to address this need. However, they are not maintained and the links are dead.

I have found this gist by kpym to be still functional, however it could've used a facelift.

This userscript (written off of the linked gist) adds a copy button to the top right corner of each code blocks to copy the code from questions and answers.
