Feature: Copy all in debug console as plain text

[zhaihm]

In debug console, can we add a "Copy All (Unformatted)" or "Copy All (Plain text)" function to the right button menu?
When I copy/paste the log into text editor (like Notepad++), there are characters that editor can't display. It would be a lot easier to analyze the log if we can just copy the log as plain text.

Thanks @zhaihm for openning a seperate feature request, pushing this to the backlog for now. Let's see if more users ask for this feature

Please add some way to copy the debug console text!!!

@Arlen22 copy the debug console text is already possible.

@isidorn I suggest that "Copy" and "Copy All" always copy plain text.
There is no need to have two sets of actions.

So this issue should just ensure that the existing "Copy" and "Copy All" actions copy plain text.
There is no need for a new feature.

@zhaihm what are the exect characters that can not be displayed in notepad++
Can you provide an example character that the debug console displays and notepad++ can not display?
@rebornix do we already have some utilities to strip strings of non plain text characters?
