With 1.7 and the new 1.8 snapshots, Mojang is adding a lot of new commands and uses for command blocks. I've just recently started to really get into using them, and I think they're just amazing.
However, what isn't amazing is having to remember/copy down coordinates. Sometimes you forget and have to re-check, sometimes you get something wrong and completely mess up a design, and sometimes the daunting task of copying down dozens of coordinates discourages you from starting a project to begin with.
My suggestion is simple- assign a hotkey (If forced to choose, I would probably use "\", but I don't suppose it matters) that copies a player's current block coordinates to the clipboard, where they can then enter a command block and simply Ctrl-V and paste them in. This wouldn't just be for command blocks, however. It would also allow players to easily post coordinates in the chat, on signs, on the web or in text files, etc.
So, what do you think? Support? Concerns? Is it already in the game and I'm just an idiot and don't know about it?
I do not yet know if this is redundent or not. If it isn't, then full support! We need better ways of remembering things than writing it down, or getting a picture.

I did a quick search of the suggestions subforum before I posted and came up with nothing. If you can find said thread and the OP is still somewhat active, I'll consider removing my suggestion.
Hmm, I'm surprised that didn't come up. When I searched there were only three entries, none of which having anything to do with my topic.
I'll leave this thread up for now, and let the mods decide which one stays up. The other thread only has two replies, the last of which being over two weeks ago.
