Feature request details

I propose the addition of a "Copy Code" button to the code editing interface. This button would allow users to easily copy the code from the text area created for writing and editing code. The feature aims to streamline the process of copying code snippets and would be particularly useful for users who frequently share code with others or need to move code between different parts of your platform.
