amitness / cutcode Goto Github PK

The last 'n' cutcode copy pastes in a table with a date. Updates date value if the same code is added, otherwise new line. Once max count is reached, drop the oldest.

The double click feature works well, however some people (including myself) use double click to quickly highlight just a method, or triple click for the line.

Having a user defined hotkey + left click to trigger the copy would go a long way for UX.

I've tried to implement this myself, however I ran into issues capturing the ascii characters for non alphanumeric keys. This feature would take place primarily in settings.js/usersettings.html and would need special attention to sanitizing input.

alternatively, we can create a dropdown box with control, alt, or shift as an input and left click as default. This would allow us to widen the options and would make capturing the ascii input a moot point.

The code tag is specifically used to display computer code on a web page. Here's an example page with some code tags.

It makes sense to me to let users copy anything that's in a code tag, because it's code and the purpose of the extension is to copy code.

Implement a settings page to allow user to turn on / off any new features.

• Use minimal design

See if it's possible to implement a feature such that:

• Code copied from Stackoverflow has a automatic attribution similar to:

  /*  
  Reference: https://www.stackoverflow.com/...
  */

• This setting should be turned off by default and can be enabled from the settings page of extension.

Issues:

• Comment style depends on the programming language
• How to determine the programming language of the copied code?
• Does the implementation bring added complexity to the extension?

This would be a lot easier for people to install if they didn't have to clone the git repository and load the unpacked extension. Putting it on the chrome web store (and Firefox if we wan't to do that to) would be a good idea.

Here's some more information about doing that:

Add detailed images to readme.md

I've tested the extension in Firefox and it works without changing any of the code! I think we should start editing the readme to say that it works in Firefox and add some instructions about how to install it there.

I don't know if you want to expand this to other websites, but it's easy to make this work for readme files on GitHub. I'll add a pull request for this and you can add it if you want.

Some sites:

In Stackoverflow, some code snippets have a preceeding >>> to show that it's running on interpreter or shell.

For example:

>>> names = ['King', 'Queen', 'Joker']
>>> any(n in 'King and john' for n in names)
True

A feature to remove those symbols from the code when it's copied to clipboard will be useful.

[Deprecation] The behavior that Selection.addRange() merges existing Range and the specified Range was removed. See https://www.chromestatus.com/features/6680566019653632 for more details.

In user settings, allow them to select which websites they want the extension to work with, with a default list that are currently in use.
