Copy to clipboard from SOQL results window no longer works

[Jeff May]

Using IDEA 2020.1 and IC 2.1.1.3 on Ubuntu (18.04.4 LTS - not changed recently), I can no longer copy a cell contents from the SOQL results window.

Hmmmm...I'm unable to reproduce this. Any stack traces or other errors in your idea.log when you do this?

[Jeff May]

I don’t see anything in the logs that indicates a problem – its like Ctrl-C is a no-op. I’ve tried rebooting, relaunching, resetting fonts, small projects (thinking it was a big project RAM issue), nothing works. Not a huge deal, but was a great time-saver for grabbing IDs.

[Scott Wells]

Yeah, it should work. I'll try it on my Linux config shortly and see if I can reproduce it there. Perhaps it's OS-specific since the OS clipboard does come into play. I'll let you know what I find.

Jeff, I just updated my Ubuntu test config to IJ CE 2020.1 and IC 2.1.1.4 and have no issues copying query results to the system clipboard, either using Ctrl+C on the result set or using the Copy Results toolbar button.

Can you try copying cells from other tables in the IDE to see if it's an app-wide issue or just in the query results table?

[Jeff May]

I can copy in other windows – in the SOQL results pane, the Edit > Copy > Copy menu item is disabled

[Jeff May]

OK, we’re getting somewhere – I think some key mapping must have been changed. I can also no longer Copy in the terminal window of IDEA. I’ll dig in deeper and see what I can learn.

[Jeff May]

Figured it out – The Keymap for Ctrl-C was changed to ‘copy as plain text’, which doesn’t work in the terminal panels. Putting Ctr-C back to ‘copy’ lets things work as expected.

Now I just have to come up with a different keymap for ‘copy as plain text’

Sorry to bother you. Closing this one.

[Jeff May]

Panels do not support the IDE 'copy as plain text', so Ctrl-C mapped to that prevents it from working.

[Scott Wells]

Ah, okay. Thanks for letting me know the outcome.
