Status Bar quick access features

Post by Thy Grand Voidinesss »

I propose adding two new features for the Status Bar

A] A single right click should evoke shell menu in which Copy Data option would be available, upon choosing which with left click the clipboard would gain in simple text form all that what is presented by formatted Status Bar [including all the pauses and any other signs utilized by a user to make it more readable]

B] A quick double left quick should evoke the

Tools > Options... > Advanced > Show settings containing: statusbar

window. But that raises the question "why not just add such transport ability for every element visible on screen", then I would answer to it: yes, please, implement it for everything - or - then hide such GO TO possibility in the already proposed by me shell menu [as a second entry in it]

I did briefly explore a right click -> copy option for the status bar.

I want to be able to copy the current setting value when typing in /setting-name + ENTER.
It's still on my TODO list.



A few status bar parts will show the related options when double clicking.
I would like to keep the Advanced options page quite hidden.
However, I will consider double click or Alt + double click to show more settings.

Thank you for the suggestions.
