Copy and Paste Allowance

How can we help?

Hello! Here are two things that would be great to have on Khan Academy.

#1.

Copy And Pasting

It would be great if Khan Academy added an update to copy and paste things! (I accidentally make my project on a spin-off that I created and now I can't paste my code into the project. Oof.)

#2.

Multiplayer Collaboration

Multiplayer collaboration programs would be an amazing thing. If a user makes a program and opens it to the public, it will be great for others to collaborate in real-time. Maybe add a limit of how many users can collaborate and a selection so that no sneaky hackers get in there.

Thanks for reading. Have a nice day! (Or night)

1) Copy and Pasting is not allowed in projects to make it harder for people to cheat and plagiarise other people's code instead of doing the project themselves. However, there is a little known secret that you can use inspect element to select the code editor element and then remove it's on paste event listener which is what is preventing you from pasting code.

2) That would be a very cool feature, but it likely won't ever be implemented because it would be a complex thing to make and maintain. Having multiple people edit the same code would be hard to make in itself, but then they have to make sure the connections aren't leaking people's IP addresses. And they have to have servers constantly doing all the connections. Real time connections like this would definitely be misused and nearly impossible to moderate.

2) That would be a really cool feature, and I totally support it, however the chances aren't likely.
