Feature Request: Click to Copy for log messages

[Jason LeMahieu]

I often use the logging feature to inspect various things. But when things get really large, it's very annoying to copy and paste them out into an IDE or Google Doc. (For reference, block_editor_settings_all is clocking in at 2555 lines for us at the moment.)

I'd love an easier way to copy/paste values out of here. Perhaps log messages have a small "click to copy" icon? I could also see conditionally adding it if the log message goes beyond a certain size or number of lines.

Cheers

@johnbillion What do you think about setting user-select: all; on cells in Logs table?

[John Blackbourn]

I'd be in favour of a "copy" button in a few places. user-select: all might get annoying if you do only want to select a portion.

[Caleb Stauffer]

But you could copy the whole thing into a text editor and easily extract the portion you want. Keeps the code simple and interface uncluttered.

Good point 👍
