Research direction

Start at the editor's "Current traceback" view and inspect how the red error messages are rendered. Make those messages selectable or otherwise copyable, then verify that a user can copy the displayed error text for use in support channels or web searches.

Description

Hello,

It would be nice if it was possible to copy the error messages displayed on top of "Current traceback" (those in red color), this would help to seek information on usual help channels or search the Web for solutions.
