What problem would this feature solve?
It has been a few time now, that I found myself selecting an entire example and copy/pasting it to my IDE. I think that it would be great if I could simply click on a button and copy it (without the need to select it all).
I think this could be useful in any code snippet (plain example, and executable ones like the first example found in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/async_function
usually I am pasting the code in order to either debug it or modify it a bit or to simply use it.

I also think this would be nice. Not sure when we'll get around to implementing it. Would you be interested in attempting a pull request?
By the way, inspired by this bug I also filed one for stumptown-renderer: https://github.com/mdn/stumptown-renderer/issues/82
yes I would like to try making a PR for this. Is there a contributors guidelines or something like this? should I first create a task somewhere?
ok, I think I found all I need at https://github.com/mozilla/kuma/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
I forked the repo, and will try to create this feature.
