I was told on Twitter to put this suggestion here so, if it's the wrong place for it, I'm sorry.

Anyway, it would be great to see a tool that could copy the coordinates of any block you clicked on and allow you to paste those coordinates (Ctrl+V) as text. Personally, I would use it all the time when entering coordinates into Command Blocks. Also, there could be the option for the brush size to be pasted as the radius value.

Thanks. VoxelSniper is a great piece of work.

No way to make it enter the coordinates into the Minecraft chat console so you can perform the copy and paste yourself? I.e you click on a block, it puts the coordinates into your chat window. You copy those coordinates and paste them for whatever purpose you need, rinse and repeat.

What we can do is to create a tool that just sends you the coordinates as a
chat message but I don't think you can select text in the chat window, can
you?

This would require a client side plugin since ctrl+v is basically "paste from clipboard" and the clipboard is handeled by your OS.

You can give text functionality in the snapshots but that's it

Nope. No way to select text in the chat window unless you're typing it in there and haven't pressed enter. I see the difficulty. Thanks for taking the time to consider it.

Keep up the good work.

I had a bit more of a think about this. Is there anyway to make this potential feature work like the Sign Overwrite Brush? For example, players click on a block and it writes the coordinates into an internal buffer then click on a command block and it writes the coordinates into the command block. You could perhaps make brush parameters so that for example "/b cc tp" would enter a teleport command for the stored coordinates into a command block.

Just an idea.
