Hi!
In my day to day use of the desktop app I often need to copy-paste code snippets that I have saved in markdown notes. Currently to copy them I have to either use my mouse, or enter edit move, navigate to the snippet, select and copy it.
I would love to have a hotkey to navigate through all available snippets and copy them, mouse-free. Does it look like a good feature to you?
I can work on it if it does!

Hi @kazup01!
Well, pressing Enter will copy the whole note. What if I need to copy just one small part of the note that is in the code block?
For example, it's helpful when following instructions where each step is in it's own block.

Ah I understand. Certainly need to click on the code block in Markdown.
Do you have any ideas?

The current method of being able to copy an entire code block seems sufficient in most cases.

Would it be nice if there was a hotkey that just straight up copied the first code block it found? Pressing that again would instantly copy the second code block and so on.
