Nicole Ahmed (ID: 000000a5eb87142e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/23/2023 Works perfectly. Hovering over the code in a stack overflow page and the copy icon will appear. Copies with lines and spacing intact (I was having problems with spacing disappearing when copying normally) Colours are not copied unfortunately. Thanks for this!
