great idea! i don't know how easy or hard this is to do, or if codemirror already supports this.

I wanted to second this request (even though it was mine to begin with)... ;)

this is absolutely crucial for those of us making presentation slides (keynote, powerpoint, etc) from sketches...

https://discuss.codemirror.net/t/include-textmarkers-in-copy-paste-operation/1054

i hear that! a workaround for now could be taking a screenshot of the code in a code editor, and then adding alt text to the image that is the code.

any movement on this? really important for teaching

There's hasn't been any movement on this and and I hear that it's important to you. I just added the help wanted label so that someone else might pick it up!

Someone was able to get RTF copy in CodeMirror working, see https://discuss.codemirror.net/t/rich-text-copy/695/4

Also, it's not ideal, but one workaround would be to download your sketch and then open it in a different text editor. I just tried this with VSCode and then copying the code to Keynote and it kept the formatting.

I understood the issue, as I am new in open source contribution I would like to take this issue. Can it be assigned to me?
@catarak

@ash97531 feel free to work on this issue!

where can I ask doubts regarding codebase or if I stuck somewhere? It will be helpful for me to work on this feature.
And medium or platform to discuss?

@catarak Can you please verify

@catarak Can i work on this issue?

Hi @Indhiraraj, I am not a mentor but I believe you can start working on the issue and submit the PR when completed.

If you’d like to check it out, I have already fixed the issue in this PR: #2962. However, it couldn’t be merged, possibly due to some version issues on their end.

Best of luck!

Hi @ash97531,

Thank you for letting me know! I’ll take a look at your PR (#2962) for reference and will start working on the issue.

I was viewing the changes made in PR 2962 and it looks like the rtf copy method there would work only with Ctrl+C, and not with selecting copy in right-click's context menu.
Another issue is that it is not able to paste that text in normal text editors without rtf features using this approach.

@catarak , please assign the issue to me. I would like to work on this.
