 Description  « Hide
The little popup that comes up when clicking the change-tracking colored bars in the left gutter of the editor is extremely useful. However sometimes it'd be nice to be able to simply use the mouse/keyboard to select a piece of that old text and copy it to be able to reuse it somewhere.

Currently one of the buttons on that little popup is "copy old text", however that copies all the text and is not as discoverable (I have seen colleagues dtry to copy straight from the popup, and bail when it didn't work – never saw the button.)

It would be great to be able to select-copy straight from the popup

Unfortunately "Copy old text" is the best thing our editor infrastructure currently allows us to implement.
