Allow copying text from SOQL Query pannel
Currently there is no right-click contextual menu or way to select text in the SOQL Query results pane. This prevents being able to exact data that is not easily human readable (like Ids) for use elsewhere and causes fallback to other tools.

reporter Wow, you're totally right. Nice trick, closing this since it's an upstream bug with an easy workaround.

Account Deactivated Jeez. I wish I knew this earlier. I've spent so much time typing ID's one character at a time because I could not copy/paste

repo owner Sorry! I'll add it to the FAQ over the holidays (along with another dozen or some truly frequently asked questions). I may even see if I can swizzle things so that it allows Cmd+C on a Mac until JetBrains fixes the issue on their end.

repo owner Actually it looks like this has been fixed by JetBrains in 2016.3.1. Cmd+C is working properly for me now to copy from the SOQL query results table. Please let me know if you're not seeing the same thing after updating to the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA.

Chris, this actually does work today, but there's a bug on the Mac in JetBrains'
JBTable
component that's used to render the results. Right now it uses Windows/Linux keybindings for cut/copy/paste/select all even when on the Mac. Try using Ctrl+C instead of Cmd+C and it should copy the selected cells to the clipboard. I've filed this bug with JetBrains but haven't seen a fix from them yet. Let me know if that doesn't do it for you...
