Can we get feedback on it ? 




It works like the Microsoft Word button to copy format.

IMHO you should change the icon to a Microsoft Word similar glyph. The current one seems a hammer, and if you don't read the tip/tooltip you don't guess for what it's that button.

Working for me as expected. Nice addition.

The  usage  is  familiar  from  most  office suites - word, writer and
probably  others.  I do not find it confusing at all. When a format is
copied  and ready to "paste", the button looks "pressed". Pasting only
works once, so nothing unusual.

The  only  thing  I notice that is not immediately expected is that it
seems only the format of the last selected character is pasted (if the
selection contains differently formatted characters, that is).

Yea, I get that, but all my points are still valid. How do you know if this 
click on the button is copying a format or pasting a format? And if I've 
already copied a format but now want to copy a new format, how do I do that?

Maybe change the tooltip to show whether a format is stored ready to paste?  
Copy a different new format could always simply replace the old one
without question.



I get how it works, but building tools that only work for people who've already 
figured out how to use them means you'll just confuse most of your users.

Guten Tag Ira,

I find it potentially useful, but very confusing to use. How do I know if 
clicking the button will apply formatting or save formatting? Button needs to 
show current state. And then, how do I copy a new format to the button or how 
do I clear the current button?

   This feature only copyies the format, not the text itself. 
   
   You copy the format of selected text by clicking on this "brush" button. 
   
   The format is then applied to another text by selecting this other text. 
   
   Apparently no "insert" or so is needed. The format is applied automatically, 
as if the mouse or keyboard marker were the brush colored with the previously 
copied format.

Between the paint bucket and the text alignment icons.  It looks like 
bricklayer's tool.  
Tooltip is "copy and apply text style".
