Current behavior

The only way to copy a markdown code snippet is to use mouse drag, which is incredibly frustrating. I use Boost Note to save code snippets and commonly executed scripts, which I just copy/paste and the lack of a way to easily select these snippets make it very difficult to use.

Expected behavior

I'm sure the previous version of Boost Note used to have a little button you could click to copy the entire code block into the Windows clipboard.

Steps to reproduce

Create sine markdown that includes a code block. Attempt to copy the code snippet. It can only be done my clicking and dragging the mouse. With multiple lines this isn't too bad, but with one line snippets it's almost impossible to select the line.

Environment

Windows 10, 1909.

It's also worth noting that line numbers are missing in the new version. Happy to create a new ticket for this if appropriate. Thank you.

I imagine this ticket will be fine. If somebody only wants to implement one or the other by submit a separate PR then we can make a separate ticket for the separate feature.

Running Boost Note 8.2 on macOS 10.14.6

The copy button is now there (from #560 I believe) but clicking it doesn't actually copy to my clipboard.

Either way I'm excited to see progress.
