That's a good point. Challenging copy/paste behaviour with drag and drop is certainly hard and will likely not be adopted by that many people. However it is also the (only) way to sort snippets into lists - Maybe think of it as sorting Mails into different folders, which mostly happens the same way.

It is also kind of convenient to drag snippets into your editor, because you don't have to select the code (which would also happen via mouse). In any case it is not the only option to grab your snippets, so you can still go cmd+c / cmd+v. No harm done in giving the option imho.

I'm also looking into generally copying a snippet to the clipboard when hitting cmd+c on a single snippet page - That would probably be my personal favorite. Maybe even yours as well?

Thanks for the link! That's actually displaying corerctly. You can drag your snippet by clicking and holding it on this icon. Here's a demo: https://twitter.com/rawcodeio/status/655678301617438721

Thanks and I couldn't agree more. That was a mistake :[ Snippets that are shown in public places now must be created by registered users. For the future proper protection against this kind of behaviour will be inevitable. However prohibiting public snippets without registration is also not an ideal solution imho - would you agree?

Can you provide screenshots? Might be a bug!

Thanks for commenting. Right now the main advantage is usability and with it the option to better organize snippets. Tags and especially lists allow users to curate snippets that have a connection and later search only those in a list, making it easy to find what you're looking for. We're also looking into letting user collaborate on lists, making them more attractive for teams.

Thanks! Just starting out, so I hope we'll get some more snippets soon. Any feedback and sharing is very welcome.
