Does it provide a key binding to automatically C&P a he code from a top-voted answer into a buffer?

I can imagine some kind of placeholder that can be pointed at a yet-unanswered question, then as soon as as an answer (with a code snippet!) arrives, it gets pasted in. And updated as the answer does, too.

Actually then I can write a whole program that fires off stack exchange questions from comments and writes the code as they get answered. Is that genius or what?


This is kind of what Copilot does for github, with AI in between to search for appropriate code. Perhaps SE could be added to their input data.
