I am working on the new vstest reporter that integrates with msbuild, and I am using the latest binlog viewer. I report many multiline messages, and when I report with source information it is hard to discover that there is more to see in the message itself, beacuse it will navigate to source when I press Space.
The full message can be shown by right clicking and choosing View full text, but until today I did not know about that, and only found about it because I know there are multiple lines in the message:
When there is no source information the full message is shown when pressing space:
I don't think it is obvious, and it would be nice if there was some way to improve this:
e.g. a shortcut for this, spelled out in the line:

e.g. a shortcut for this, spelled out in the line:
... (Space: View code, Ctrl+Space: View message, Ctrl+C: copy message)
Or opening both views on the right side (probably hard to do, in practical and ergonomic way , unless you split screen horizontally).
Or change the default for multiline messages to show the message...
