BJ, I think you misunderstood. I was describing a way to copy a fragment of code from a wiki to clipboard, for when you actually need to reuse it. The entire contents of a <code>...</code> tag, without having to drag your mouse across it to highlight everything. (If you want only a part of it, you'd still have to do the usual highlight+copy way.)
Rather than having a multitude of small scripts, I keep them in my wiki, commented and tagged, and just copy and paste them into command line when I need to run them. I guess it's a somewhat specific use case, not everyone will find this useful enough to bother. --R On Saturday, August 29, 2015 at 4:01:57 AM UTC-7, BJ wrote: > > HI Rustem, > it is also possible to use tiddlyclip to copy hightlighted chuck of a web > page as html and have them appear in a tiddler, just replace @text with > @web in the snip rule:- > > http://tiddlyclip.tiddlyspot.com#defaultSnip > > cheers > BJ > > > On Saturday, August 29, 2015 at 3:11:33 AM UTC+1, Rustem wrote: >> >> I keep a TiddlyWiki for documenting bits of code, scripts etc. In TWC, I >> had a homegrown plugin that added a “Copy All to Clipboard” button to every >> code block.
