Feature Request: Right Click on Tree View to Copy Key or Value Data

[alphazwest]

Call me crazy—I swear this functionality used to be present.

When in the tree viewer mode, I often find it pertinent to extract the data from either a key or a value entry. Having a simple context menu prompted from a right-click action would be very useful.

Suggested options:

1. Copy Key
2. Copy Value
3. Copy Key: Value Pair

Yes, it has a context menu for what you want.

Ahhhh! I knew I remembered that working at some point!

Any idea why that context menu wouldn't be appearing? No menu appears when I right-click in the JSON viewer pane

#83 found some one has the same issue.

@sunjw A simple right click on a item in the tree does not open any context menu. Is there something special to get the context menu to show or is it a bug? It seems like a bug...

It would be also cool if a double click on a item inside the tree view would select the corresponding row in the text view.

@FireEmerald cannot reproduce on my computer, I'll leave this open.

It seems like the issue only happens sometimes. I re-tested it on the same machine and now the context menu does appear as well as the mentioned auto-selection from my last comment works. I was also unable to break it again.

Maybe bug in NPP.
