How Do I Copy a CodeSandbox?

When you ask how to "copy a CodeSandbox," you might be referring to duplicating the entire project, exporting it, or simply copying code from files within the editor. Based on the information provided, this answer focuses on how to copy code within the CodeSandbox editor environment.

Copying Code Inside the CodeSandbox Editor

CodeSandbox provides built-in functionality and supports standard keyboard shortcuts to help you easily copy and paste code snippets or entire file contents within your projects. This is particularly useful for moving code between different files, sandboxes, or even other applications.

Methods for Copying Code

Here are the primary ways to copy code while working in the CodeSandbox editor:

• Using the Clipboard Icon:

  • Locate the clipboard icon (often looks like two overlapping squares) usually found in the top right corner of the editor for a specific file you have open.
  • Clicking this icon typically copies the entire content of the currently active file directly to your system's clipboard. This is a quick way to grab all the code from a single file.

• Using Standard Keyboard Shortcuts:

  • You can select any portion of code within the editor, or select the entire file content.
  • Use the familiar copy command: Press "Ctrl+C" on Windows/Linux or "Cmd+C" on macOS. This copies your selected code to the clipboard.
  • To paste code that you have copied, simply place your cursor where you want the code to appear and press "Ctrl+V" on Windows/Linux or "Cmd+V" on macOS.

These simple methods ensure that you can manage and move code snippets efficiently while developing in CodeSandbox.
