I have been doing most of my app/device coding on my 10 inch ipad. Last night I tried to copy out the code I was working on so I could paste it back into github and it was a real pain in the butt. It would be nice if there was an export or raw view like github does. So if you clicked the button it would open a new tab with just the code in plain text format
I don't use a pad but I'm curious what system you are using. I'm using windows10 and a simple Ctrl-A then Ctrl-C works find. I think the cursor must be in the text area (as opposed to being on one of the option buttons)

I tried both in safari and chrome. I wasn't using a physical keyboard, so firing up my bluetooth keyboard might help when I need to do so.
What I found was that dragging to select wouldn't stay within the text box for whatever reason.
This is unfortunately a current limitation to the code editor as iOS devices do not seem to handle selectall properly.
I applaud you for writing code on an ipad.
Adding a "raw text" option is something I'll add to the wish list.
