If you’re trying to copy code or snippets from a website but find that the copy button isn’t working or the feature isn’t available, here’s a simple way to solve that issue. Sometimes, built-in copy buttons or features can be broken or don’t work consistently across different browsers or devices. In those cases, using your keyboard shortcuts is the easiest solution.
First, highlight the text or code you want to copy. You can do this by clicking and dragging your mouse over the text or code block until everything you want is selected. Alternatively, you can click inside the code block and press “Ctrl + A” to select all the text on the page if that’s what you need.
Once the text is highlighted, press “Ctrl + C” (or “Command + C” on a Mac). This command copies everything you’ve selected to your clipboard.
After copying, you can paste the code into your document or project by clicking where you want it inserted and pressing “Ctrl + V” (or “Command + V” on a Mac).
If you often need to copy code from websites and the buttons don’t work, it might be worth checking your browser’s copy permissions or trying a different browser. Sometimes, browser extensions or settings can block certain scripts, which can interfere with copy features.
This manual method works every time and ensures you can get the code or text you need without relying on external buttons. Remember, keyboard shortcuts are fast, reliable, and work across most websites and platforms.
