#11 Copy capability should be everywhere

[Todd Clay]

No way to copy data displayed as output at the bottom. We're talking copy, which in my world should be available everywhere. I can't think of any reason you would want to restrict copy. This would also imply that there should be a context menu. Things like search in browser for error states, copy, paste, print, email and other typical manipulations.

I presume you mean in the Terminal Emulator. That does have a context menu in the correct circumstance: try running 'ls' in it so that you get a valid list of filepaths; then a right-click will give you the choice of GoTo that filepath, or Open it (see the screenshot).

Partly because of that, there's no default context menu. I'll see if I can provide one without disrupting the current situation.

If I do a find the output of the find is displayed at the bottom that to me is not a terminal it's a log.

And if i use your Find command in the drop down I whould think it would hide all the permission problems or at lkeast give me a way to hide them or sudo them so they get searched if neccesary.

I was not able to choose any thing from the output of the Find Command.

Nothing personal but it seems that Linux software is under functionalized while Window's is overfunctionalized. I get that all software starts as what someone sees as a need but then make it the best you can. This is why Linux struggles rather than challenging Microsoft which doesn't have a great system and it's hard to fix because of their design choices where Linux is easy to repair but still largely driven by cryptic command lines.

Now fixed by commit #844c38
