Please add keyboard shortcut to copy result. Copy full line behaviour for the expressions is another wish.

It would be fantastic if I could copy the result of an expression to the clipboard via a keyboard shortcut. Listary has this as an example:

While talking about copying to the clipboard:
I really like Visual Studio Code's behaviour to copy the full line when having no character selected. This would be cool for the expression side of Parsify as well I think. 😉

Thanks

...and Visual Studio Code's Ctrl+X behaviour to cut the full line when no characters are selected. 😎
Thanks!

Great idea, I will try to work on it.

The 1.4.0 (which should be available within a few hours) will include the ability to copy the result and paste it into the last line using buttons next to the result. I'm hoping to make this feature configurable in the next release, so that you will be able to customize the behavior (for example copy the full line) 😄

Thanks for adding this!
In addition to the buttons, I still would like an option to quickly copy the result via a keyboard shortcut, avoiding the need to use the mouse. 😉
Thanks!

@LarsJandel The system was changed a bit in the recent 1.5.0 release (added option to copy the full line via a double-click), but it still does not support keyboard shortcuts. What shortcut would you like to use in order to copy results?

I was thinking about Ctrl/Cmd + <number> for example Cmd + 3 to copy the result from line 3. However, I don't think this would work for anything over line 9.

Nice idea using the line numbers, but I think, it doesn't have to be that complicated, plus regarading the limit and using separator lines / comments, it wouldn't be handy that way as you mentioned yourself.
It should be sufficient, if the user could copy the result of the formula where the cursor is currently positioned. This should be the most common use case.
Hm, regarding the short cut. Thinking about it, Listary didn't go for Ctrl/Cmd+C as this is still in use to copy highlighted text, so using 1 being close to the modifier key, works well. ...it also translates to copy one (result) 😉. So, you could do just the same:
Ctrl/Cmd+1 to copy the result of line of the current cursor location.

Thanks!

@LarsJandel Sorry for the delay, and thanks for further details. For your information, the discussed feature (keyboard shortcuts for copying lines, copy full line) will be available in the next release, which should be released at the end of February 😄

Implemented!

• Ctrl/Cmd + C copies full line if no selection
• Ctrl/Cmd + X removed line if no selection
• Ctrl/Cmd + 1 copies the result of a line

^ This will be added to the "Shortcuts help" modal (bottom-left corner of the app).

Fantastic - thanks! 🎉
