FishEye now lets you neatly copy and paste multiple lines of code directly from FishEye to the system clipboard by dragging in the FishEye window to select. Previously, some other information would also be copied from the browser display. Now, only the code itself is copied for your convenience.

Copying multiple lines of code

To copy multiple lines of code from FishEye:

  1. Click and drag in the browser window to select the desired lines.
  2. A small temporary button labelled 'copy' appears.
  3. Click the 'copy' button.
  4. The selected code is added to the system clipboard. You can now use your operating system's regular paste function to make use of the code elsewhere.

Copying a single line of code

To copy part of a line of code from FishEye:

  1. Click and drag in the browser window to select the desired characters inside the line of code.
  2. Use your operating system's 'copy' function (Ctrl-C, Command-C or Edit > Copy).
  3. The selected code is added to the system clipboard. You can now use your operating system's regular paste function to make use of the code elsewhere.
