Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

The current cursor lacks the function of quickly copying diagnostic information content! VSCode has a copy icon, click to copy diagnostic information content!

VSCode has had this feature for a long time!
As shown in the picture!
I was surprised that no one had ever requested this feature before

The diagnostic hover improvement content of cursor is as follows, and there is no copy icon, only manual selection of copy is required:

Hey, thanks for the feature request. I see the screenshot with the TypeScript hover error ts(2322). Yep, Cursor doesn’t have a one-click copy icon directly in the hover right now.

For now, here are a couple workarounds:

  1. Use the Problems panel: open View > Problems, right-click the item you need, and choose Copy Message, or just press Ctrl+C or Cmd+C when the list is focused.
  2. Use the IntelliSense Clipboard extension: IntelliSense Clipboard - Visual Studio Marketplace. It adds Copy Error Message right in the Quick Fix menu when you hover an error. Shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+C or Cmd+Alt+C. It works with Cursor.

The copy icon in the hover is a fairly new VS Code addition, and it hasn’t made it into Cursor yet. I’ve noted the request, but I can’t share an ETA.
