Copy and Paste Code
Hi! I have been doing a school project all about Scratch, and it got me thinking of ways it could be improved.
Although Scratch is a great learning platform, that is easy to access and fun to use, I do get slightly tired when working on games. One of these reasons is that I spend a lot of time doing the same code for numerous sprites. I think that it would be a lot easier if you could copy and paste code into different characters, backdrops and maybe even projects. A bit like how you can duplicate code within a sprite. Is this possible? Thank you

you see at the bottom where it says "backpack'? Click that and then drag your code into it until it turns blue. When you want to use your code, drag it out of the backpack.
i would like to sincerely apologize for the above post.
i am stupid, weird, worthless, and in general a bad person but at least i am decent at platformers.

You actually are able to do that. If you right-click the code, and press “copy”, you're able to transfer it to another sprite. You can transfer it to another project by clicking “backpack” at the bottom of your screen, and dragging the code you want there.

No support. Because you can already do that.
I don't use Scratch that much anymore

if you're doing it inside a single project, drag the bit of code into the other sprite or background. If it's on multiple projects, use the backpack.
