It's relatively easy to copy stuff from the UI (pasting is another story), and can occasionally be very useful.

There are at least two classes of interactions:

  • Copy "whatever is selected" upon cmd-C. It can get weird with multi-selection, but for single selection, especially of entities, it would be very useful to simply copy the entity path.
  • Add "copy" button in strategic places.
    • Next to time stamp display, to copy a full timestamp with standard-compliant formatting
      Image
    • ...other places?

When a space view is selected, copying could copy both a descriptive string, and a screenshot :)

Another perhaps simpler, perhaps not, thing is just making more data selectable as text so you can copy the text.

At least in the selection and time panels, I've often wanted clicking on a (partial) entity path to copy the full entity path to clipboard.
