maybe i'm just special
but it seems like for the last couple YEARS the api key management page does this silly little thing where if you try to copy your ID you either get the ID minus the first number, or the whole ID plus the "KEY ID: " part of it.
to explain this for other special people (like me): it not select so good when you drag mouse across da numburs to then copy
I know this is kind of petty, and 'god forbid you have to type in an extra number, or even WORSE the whole nine digits by hand' and that posting this is the equivalent of manually entering the ID about 40 more times.
BUT isn't the whole point of the api to be copied and pasted??
I guess shiny over function.....

Yes you are, now get on this.

Ok, kidding aside, don't feel bad, I had the exact same problem, I honestly didn't know you could double click the damn things and it would highlight the damn thing for you. Then again what do you expect, I played EVE for 2 years before I learned that you can ctrl-left click to lock a target.

Move over, there isn't a lot of room on this short bus you and me are riding lol.

I just tested it and double-clicked on the number. This was the result. Select via double click is a browser/OS feature, not one of the forums, and I am not awware of any browser/OS that does not support selecting "words" of text (text surrounded by whitespace) by double-clicking on it. What browser/OS are you using?
