In Chrome 101 the script does not seem to do anything after pressing Ctrl+Alt+m.

Note here is the script's page at StackExchange: https://stackapps.com/questions/6894/copy-post-content-as-markdown-quick-and-easy-way-to-quote-people

I have found a different script which works in my Chrome 101:

• https://stackapps.com/questions/8296/get-comment-markdown-copy-comment-code-to-clipboard
• https://github.com/BrockA/SE-misc/blob/master/Stack%20Exchange%2C%20View%20Comment%20source%20markdown_code.user.js

@vbrozik Thanks for letting me know -- it should be fixed now! :)

Thanks, it works again!
