For developers clicking the field name in the fields editor screen with auto copy whould make coding way faster. Even click to copy all.

A button/link to copy all could be nice. After you’ve just made 5+ fields you could paste a list of them into your PHP as a little cheat sheet. Especially when they’re sub-fields.

Regarding a copy one field button: How would you like to see that implemented? Double clicking the text in the name column seems to be almost as easy. (https://i.imgur.com/MCOt8HL.jpg)

Problem is that double clicking selects also the type column http://prntscr.com/pmqlio

That’s just awesome! Selecting all in one click, time saving. Tank you!

Aw. Must differ per browser. I’m on Firefox.

Tank you!

No problem! It was a good idea. I’m going to use it too.

I’ve written a really nice script that lets you copy a field name just by clicking on it, or just by clicking on the field label on edit page/posts pages.
