Auto-copy position values on click

[jelmerdemaat]

Hi, great little app, thanks.

Would it be a good idea to automatically copy the position values (e.g. "-100px 93px") when clicking a sprite part?
I feel like the copying of the CSS slows down the process a lot...

Cheers,
Jelmer

I might be wrong, but as far as I know, it's only possible through Flash.

This is the "cleaner" way to do it:

I was for some time flirting with this project. I use it a lot, maybe I write this feature on my free time :)

Yeah, wouldn't be able to copy on-select, it would need to be a button due to Flash's security rules. Closing this as a duplicate of #26

Can't you detect the change of text in the < code > block that holds these values and copy the values out of that?
After all, the coordinates are present as normal HTML on the page.

@jelmerdemaat the act of copying something needs access to an API of your computer that browsers don't have access, yet.

Flash have it because it's a plugin you've already installed on your computer, so it acts as a "tunnel" for features that browsers don't provide itself.

I think the better approach is to wait a little bit more :)

Alright, thanks. I didn't understand. No further questions. :)

@jelmerdemaat there's nothing wrong on ask, if you tell me what you didn't understood, I can try to explain ;)
