Could you add a copy button to the debugger error window please, so one can copy the error messages to clipboard for easy posting it.

Is the Ctrl+C shortcut and the right-click edit menu not enough ?

[edit] Woops, i misunderstood that, sorry. I will think about it for the next release.

Thanks!

That would be really handy for coding questions, etc, as well! Rather than a screen shot.

How about Ctrl+C in debug output? (Copy the selected element, not the whole thing)

I don't mean about the debugger output, but about the error requester the polink errors, asm errors, unresolved externals... are shown. That's a plain text output you cannot copy but with screenshoot.

I would like that too, but a button "Copy selected" would be fine.
I often want to copy/paste 1 line from the debug output. I select the
line, press copy and when i paste the text somewhere it always inserts
15 or 20 lines (the whole debug output). Little bit annoying.

Alternatively you could change the debug output to a multiline string/editor output,
so we can select and copy the part we want.

Maybe something like this: holding the shift key while pressing the copy button would copy the selected lines only (or only the lines which are visible in the debug window)...

Normal behaviour would be to copy only selected stuff. What is the selection for?
If you are able to select something, only the selected stuff gets copied. This is
the normal behaviour in every program and it is what the user expects.
