# Quickpaste

A dead simple code sharing tool.

## Features

**Syntax highlighting**

There is automatic language detection, but sometimes it gets it wrong.  To
override the language, just add or edit a file extension to the url.

**Line highlighting**

Click on a line number to highlight and target the line with the # part of the
URL. Control+Click (Command+Click on mac) a line to highlight it without
targeting it (This can be done to as many lines as you like).  Click on a
highlighted line to un-highlight it.

**Does not totally break without JavaScript**

No JavaScript is required to use the basic features of pasting code, saving it,
copying the link to share or targetting lines. But Shift-Clicking to highlight
lines without targetting, and un-highlighting lines (for example if someone
shared a link with you pre-highlighted) will not work.

**CLI Script**

[Here is a cli script for creating pastes from the command line.](https://quickpaste.net/cli.py)

Note: only python 3.8 is tested.

Just download it, rename it to `quickpaste`, mark it as executable, and put it somewhere in the path.

## FAQ

**Are the snippets stored forever?**

NO! They are deleted after one week(ish).

**Is the code available?**
