Research direction

Start by locating the view or component that renders the list of code snippets and checking how that list is tested. Trace the snippet value available for each row, then verify that each row has a visible Copy action that copies only its snippet and provides the requested feedback if implemented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

🐛 Problem / Context

When viewing code snippets in a list, it’s sometimes difficult to copy only the intended snippet.
Users often end up selecting extra rows or unrelated text, which slows things down and causes mistakes.

🎯 Goal

Make copying code snippets quick, precise, and frustration-free.

✅ Done When

Each row that contains a code snippet includes a “Copy” button
Clicking the button copies only the code snippet, nothing else
The action works consistently across all rows where code snippets are displayed

💡 Notes (Optional)

The button should be clearly visible but not visually distracting
Bonus points for user feedback (e.g. tooltip or toast: “Copied!”)
