The search results tree context menu includes three new options: Copy,
Copy Path, and Copy All. This was a highly 👍'd request which will
make it easier to share or export your search results.
Update as of v1.41 you can move your search results to a new editor and easily select all and copy there. After searching (which can work across multiple files); click the "Open in Editor" link, as shown in this demo:
Another advantage of the search editor is that you can get "context" around your search result. So you can get some number of lines before and after the whole line with your search term in it. And, of course, line numbers will be copied too.
And you can just saveCtrl+S the search results editor itself! And cut lines from there. Or add notes. With syntax highlighting. It will ask where you want to save it, defaulting to the folder where you initiated the search. It will be named like yourFolder\yourSearchTerm.code-search.
This will work for a single file, assuming each line you care about begins with the search text:
1. Highlight your search string
2. CTRL + SHIFT + L to select all occurrences found
3. SHIFT + ↓ to select all of those lines
4. CTRL + C
5. Open a new file
6. CTRL + V
As of 12/2020 CTRL + SHIFT + L doesn't work (for me)
After search results are rendered, right-click onto the text file and select "Change all occurrences"(or CTRL+F2). This will automatically select the the matched text items. Then you can simply copy it.
