Browse <file>.c window: Allow to copy content from browse window result

Browse any <file>.c, by right-click on a file in project view file list.

In Window "Source Code Browser/View" Browse Identifier:
Allow to copy entries in column 'Functions' and other columns, if useful.

 

Reason:
This would help to create a content list in <file>.c or any other documentation.

Copy full columns or line by line might be useful.

See the image below. Is this what you're asking for?

 

Also, you can already copy individual entries (via <Ctrl-C>) from the source code browser window, although I don' think you can copy multiple entries.

Yes this is what I mean. The ctrl-c possibility for ONE function I did not notice yet, so this is OK. But what I really meant is to copy ALL function names, which are listed, by only one mouse-click. Suggestion: By right-clicking into the list of functions, one can find two options: 1) "Copy" (only one), 2) "Copy all".

Ah, okay. I had misunderstood your request, thinking that you were asking for the ability to browse a .c file by right-clicking on the file name in the project tree. Now I understand.

Of course first I browse any c-file in project view (as in your screenshot above), then a new window opens (source code browser), which shows on the right side all functions in the browsed file. And I want to copy all functions listed with only one command, in order to use it immediately for creating a list of content on top of the file as documentation purpose for example. I write this only for clarification again, because I could not understand the misunderstanding you describe in your last comment.

I thought you were asking for two things: the ability to browse a .c file, and the ability to copy the items from the browse window. When I read your first sentence ("Browse any <file>.c, by right-click on a file in project view file list") I thought that this was what you were asking for. I hadn't noticed the ':' in your suggestion title.
