Does this still work? Just tried it on Theme Creator, and I don’t see anything when clicking the reply button. Or am I misunderstanding how this works?

Yep, amazingly it appears to still be working on 3.6.0.beta1-dev.
I’ve not updated to latest latest but that’s pretty close.
Look through the settings carefully - you need to set it up the way you want it. For example, by default it will not quote a very recent Post (as too recent, what’s the point, it’s on screen, you can see it?).
As discussed above it does _not_ currently support the rich text editor.

Hmmm … updates to Discourse core appear to have made this work on richtext editor without me doing anything … has anyone got a different experience?

Oh! Good to know. I had turned it off because of it being broken with the richtext editor. Just turned it back on and it seems to be working again? 🤷♂️🙂

The Component is modernised.
There may be less need for it now since Nested View option is available in core, but otherwise - enjoy:
>
>
> Previously, Quick Quote copied core reply code, used outdated lint and CI config…uration, and its newline option did not affect the Markdown inserted into the composer.
>
> This change delegates reply handling to core, modernizes tooling and CI, makes paragraph collapsing effective, adds documentation, and provides system coverage with 23 passing examples while noting that official nested replies are not yet supported.
>
> Rich-text editor support is also included as a result of delegating quote handling to core. The component now passes prepared HTML through \`QuoteState\`, allowing core to convert and insert the quote correctly in both Markdown and ProseMirror composers.
