Hi!

I'd like to request a new feature:  the ability to copy the JSON object response from a GET request for pasting into another application (text editor, email, etc.).

My use case is an API call where the vendor's API is returning unexpected data in the JSON response.  I need to copy the JSON response and paste into a text file (as example) to email back to the vendor to investigate.

I would like to be able to alt-click the returned object in the Inspectors > response window, JSON tab and copy the whole object to the clipboard.  In effect I'm asking to copy the result of JSON.stringify(), ideally neatly formatted (with line breaks after each key/value pair in the object, as you have it displayed in the inspector window).

Currently the copy functionality copies the text highlighted only.

Screenshot is attached.

Thanks!
Keith

At the moment, your best bet would be to use the SyntaxView tab after running the Format JavaScript command.

If the vendor can work from an image, use the spacebar to highlight a node and choose "Copy as Image" from the context menu of the JSON tab title itself.
