    Hello, previously when one searches for all occurrences of a term/phrase we would get the result with filename on top and then the lines with the matches, including the line number. This is still so, but when I want to copy the result, it only copies the line contents and not the metadata as well (filename and line numbers). I could not find an option to turn on the previous way of copying the data from the “Find result” pane.

    Any hints on this? If needed I can add screenshots accordingly to better explain what I am asking.

    Cheers

      Anyone?

      It would be great if the two options are there when right clicking:
      “Copy selection”
      “Copy selection with metadata”

      And in the settings an option to chose which one Ctrl+C will do by default.

        Hello,

        Try CTRL-A in the results window and then CTRL-C.
        CTRL-V will paste everything you see.
