Copy Selected Diagnostics

Copy Selected Diagnostics

Copies just the Diagnostics rows you selected in the Structure form to the clipboard -- one finding, or several. Reach for it when you want to paste one or two findings (into a chat, an issue, a review) rather than the whole list.

Reaching it in the IDE

This is a RIGHT-CLICK action, not a main-menu item. Menu path: "Structure form (right-click a tree node)".

1. Open the Structure form (drag-lint > Show Structure).
2. Click a Diagnostics row; Ctrl+click or Shift+click to add more rows.
3. Right-click inside the selection and choose "Copy", or press Ctrl+C.

A right-click on a row that is already selected keeps the whole selection. With only the "Diagnostics (N)" root selected, "Copy" copies every finding, exactly like Copy All Diagnostics.

What lands on the clipboard

One line per selected finding, in panel order (by line, then column), with no file header:

[W] (10:5) Unit 'Winapi.ShellAPI' is listed in the uses clause but ...  [unused-unit-in-uses]

Running it from the CLI

There is no CLI equivalent of a selection; drag-lint lint <path> prints every finding of a file (see Copy All Diagnostics).

What it needs

Nothing beyond the findings already shown in the panel.
