# Can I keep code snippets in the Junk Yard?

Yes. Copied code lands as a text scrap with its exact characters, and clicking it copies it back unchanged. When writing your own note, use the **monospace** button in the note editor to format code so it's easy to read.

Search finds snippets by any word in them. For snippets you reuse often, give them a longer lifetime or pin them — and keep the permanent ones somewhere proper, because every scrap eventually clears.
