CODE button in Quick Reply toolbar


Do you think it would be possible to add the CODE (#) button to the quick reply text window toolbar?

We keep on trying to encourage users to enclose their code and output in CODE tags, so it would be nice to have that facility available there for them without the user having to go into Advanced mode (which I think many new users are unaware of) or work out how to insert the tags manually.

Many thanks.

Although I type in the "code" tags, I think this suggestion has merit.

Thanks for the feedback. The code button will be included in the quick reply after the next major code update.

Rise from your grave~

Because I think my reply is still relevant, even if not timely.

Cause, I think it's not actually there.
(Text has no good inflections, this is not meant as dickish. I actually consider the possiblity that one of my scriptblockers might block it, for some reason.)

But if it's not actually in...then I too crave the addition of it.
Edit:
Of course, if this major update has not happened then, nevermind me.

Edit2:

Maybe a grease/tampermonkey script could work? (browser addon that can manipulate html/dom stuff )
But I have pretty much zero knowledge about that kind of stuff, so... that'd be a spoon fed request.

I got nuffinnnnnnn.
