Does `copycode` also work with Gist snippets? about codecopy

[Glennmen]

Here you can find a list of domains where the extension will work on: https://github.com/zenorocha/codecopy/blob/master/dist/manifest.json

The codecopy module you used is not owned/maintained by this project, it is a community module. I think this is the correct Github repository: https://github.com/Kikobeats/codecopy

@Glennmen many thanks.

@zenorocha @Glennmen sorry I missed one point and would like to reopen this issue/question.

I mistook with codecopy.js but the second point is still valid i.e. I am using this add-on https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/codecopy/fkbfebkcoelajmhanocgppanfoojcdmg but could not find any "Copy" button for any snippets on the domain gist.github.com?

Google Chrome
Version 70.0.3538.110 (Official Build) (64-bit)
macOS Mojave 10.14.1.

@htr3n Not sure if this issue is still open.
Can you show me an example where the extension is not working on gist.github.com

[htr3n]

@Glennmen sorry, I accidentally clicked on "close issue". I took some screenshots here. Note that the mouse are not in the screenshots but indeed I pointed it to the code (hopefully to activate CodeCopy)

In both cases, there are no "Copy" button? Or did I do something wrong for gist.github.com? In other domains like github.com or stackoverflow.com, the extension works perfectly ok.

@htr3n Those are not code blocks so that is why the extension is not adding the Copy button. Not sure if it worked in the past and that Github changed their Gist layout and broke it.

This extension searches for the <pre> element to add the button to code blocks.

@Glennmen That's my understanding too, i.e. both the extension and script (in other github repos) look for <pre> but Gists code is not (Gists are formatted in table). That's why I was a bit puzzled when reading the documentation that the extension works with Gists.
I guess this issue is no longer needed. Thanks

[Glennmen]

@htr3n I am not sure if we will want to fix this because adding support for elements other than <pre> will of course create extra complexity into maintaining this project.

An other extension that might help you (and that I also use) is Refined GitHub
