Really? Why not just a notepad? It is on per user basis. So you can't even have different reply per repo. Or have some variable like user name or repo name. I mean. This really is the same as having a text file opened and copy paste something.

Convenience is a feature. Two clicks is far better than "have another application open, switch over to it, find the right part in the notepad, select that bit of text, copy and paste it over."

I do a _lot_ of issue triage. The time savings is not negligible for me.

(I do agree that per-repo would be nice, but I'm happy to have this in the meantime)

Yes but you don't need to have a notepad open. Not having to have a notepad open is much easier then needing to have a notepad open.

Though the lack of variables is another issue...
