Copy easily doc-as-code
Author: tayfloCreated Sep 8, 2026Updated Sep 8, 2026
Describe the problem to be solved
Sometimes I want to study the document as code.
So I retrieve the doc-as-python-code in the "Code view" panel.
But I have no easy way to copy this in one click or shortcut. It's tiresome for complex document with long structure.
Describe the solution you would like
Either (or both):
- CTRL+A would select ONLY the text within the code view, nothing else (not upper ribon, not side panel)
- A small button would allow to copy the whole text
Workaround until then:
- CTRL+A, then copy, then paste, then remove undesired data above the code itself
- Also, collapsing left/right panels reduces the surface of selected things
