Python Code: (Double-click to select all)

[Skaperen]

... is not working on Firefox version 50.0.2.  i have not tried any earlier versions or anything else.

it does highlight all the code.  but even doing ^C (to copy highlighting) does not get this highlighting into the paste buffer. how can i make this work?  a "save as" feature here might be a usable alternative.

Works for me, also on FF 50.0.2.... If you are on Linux, AFAIK there are really two clipboards, so FF could put the data on one while your editor only looks at the other.

And here is a test where everybody can test whether or not it works for them:

click me 
double
to
select all text

Did you try via menu - edit - copy?

i would like to point out that if you accidentally triple click you have to restart by clicking off the codebox. By triple clicking you remove everything selected and unable to select all again, as well as lose the syntax highlighter for that codebox (which is a good indicator), until you click once off the box to reset. At that point you can start again.  

We at some point would like to add a link above the codebox that selects all for you and puts it in your buffer for you.

yes, there are two buffers.  but ^C normally does the windows thing, copying the highlight buffer to the ready-to-paste buffer.  this works in other situations.  so it looks like, at least on linux, that it is just highlighting on the screen, and not putting the data in any buffer.

i just did try it and it fails.  i did notice the highlighting vanished when the menu came up, so there may be a bug in the linux/x version of firefox in that regard.  also when i tried to paste it pasted the word i was over when i did the double-click.

i tried it several times, and they all failed.  so if it was a triple-click accident, it happen in all of these.

a link, and copying to the ready to paste buffer, would be nice.  another link to do save-as would be nice, too.  an alternative would be a small pop-up menu.

Try using chrome and see if it works. Im on linux and i have no problem with chrome. To be honest though i dont have a problem with firefox either.
