'Copy to Clipboard'-button in Serial Monitor

[pierreverbakel]

I would really (really!) like to have a Button below in the Serial Monitor window 'Copy to Clipboard'. When having like 10.000 lines of continuous output it is nice look for specific moments of the run time, to see what my sketch did, measured, or decided. I really do not understand how this can be version 1.8.4 and not having such a Windows 1.0 function to be honest. Piece of cake to implement, loads of rewards. I understand that this works perfectly on a Mac. It does not work on my Windows 7 64 bit-system.
Using Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C does only give me a small fraction of the total output. With a running system producing output continously a button would make it easier to do that same operation.
