Discussion on: 2 Quick Tips when working with JS console output

Haha, it was a lifesaver for me too, especially when copying large portions of data. No more scrolling as I highlight the data!

Combine copy() with DOM scripts and it's supercharged :)

Sounds interesting.. Can you give an example/application of this?

This pastebin: pastebin.com/stZdBA45
It's about 68,000 characters long! That's a ton of dragging,
But, it's only one line long (for some reason) and is contained inside <div class="de1"></div>.

So,

var a = document.querySelector(".de1").innerText
copy(a)

And, it's copied 👌

Or for all pastebins, querySelect ".textarea" to get the raw paste data.

🙌 I get your point now, and I can see how easier this is with the above.
Thanks for sharing!

"The best part about being a developer is flexing to your friends how good you are at copying 68,000 characters in 3 seconds." 😂
