Feature Request: Select Server Names from the GUI #977

Closed aachaemenes closed 1 month ago

aachaemenes commented 2 months ago

Please add the ability to select and copy server name or names from GUI by highlighting them.

Do you mean copying the server names from the tree? image

It appears that ctrl+c doesn't work by default. I might be able to get this to work or add the feature via a context menu. As a workaround, ctrl+c will work from the grid - the performance summary tab will display the server name.

Is this to make it easier to connect to the server via SSMS - to paste in the connection dialog or something?

No, I was talking about the check report and other reports. I cant select those servers in the report and copy and paste the names or name. I know I can use excel report feature which is great but it is much faster to grab the server names quickly by highlighting them and use ctrl C and ctrl V.

Copy/Paste using Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V works from the grid. Select the cell or cells you want to copy and use Ctrl+C. I've verified this works on the Summary tab and it should work everywhere else as this is built into the DataGridView control.

If it's not working somewhere let me know where. If it's not working everywhere - copy/paste might not work in some cases over a RDP session. Check that copy/paste is working from other apps.

problem is the instance name column. let say i select a server name and want to copy and paste it to SSMS, i have to paste it into a notepad then remove the instance name header and grab the server name .

Which tab are you trying to copy/paste from? In most cases the header text isn't included but there does seem to be some places where it is included.

Header text should no longer be included in 3.10 🚀
