A feature I’d like to see in Hopscotch is:

a block that copies text to your clipboard

I’d use it for this type of project:

stuff with savecodes

Here are some examples of Hopscotch code that could be improved if we had this:

you could copy a savecode, leave for a minute to check out another project, then come back and play the same project without losing progress

Here is an example design I’ve made:

when self is tapped {
  copy “stringy mc. Stringface” to clipboard 
}

I’ve seen something similar in another programming languages, it looks like this:

I haven’t

  • I like this
  • I don’t like this

Don’t know why I’d use this, but it seems like it’s useful, so add.

Just a thing about copying to the clipboard in JS – typically it has to happen off of a user gesture.

I think @Petrichor’s suggestion would actually be more intuitive: allow the save input block to have prefilled text where you can use “Copy this text” in the popup so that the user knows when something is being copied.

it’d be nice if you could make text selectable therefore giving the ability to copy like what you seem to be implying

That would be better, w/lit consent could lead to websites bein* shared that maybe shouldn’t be

It could be cool to do that but theres a downside
TOO MUCH TEXT ON A SAVE CLIPBOARD BLOCK

Just when its saved you’ll notice it will be 1000 @ or 1000 letters of nothing.

But it also haves an upside
COPYING 1000 DIGITS OF PI TO SAVE YOUR TIME
