GP parameter help hover-over — Easier text copying

Bud — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 15:42:46 GMT

ArcGIS Pro 2.9.5

Make Query Table

In a geoprocessing tool parameter, I hover my mouse over the blue "I" icon.

Now, I want to copy the text from the hover-over-popup to an email, forum post, or documentation.

Selecting the text and copying the text is cumbersome.

Sometimes, I try to start my selection with the title. But the title isn't selectable, so I assume all the text is unselectable and give up.
Or, if I select the text body, I try to right-click and hit Copy, but the popup disappears before I can click the Copy button.

I'm aware that I can select the text body and then hit CTRL+C. Or go to the online documentation via the "?" question mark button at the top of the tool. But it would be better to have more intuitive copying right in the popup.

It's not so handy, but you can copy the text from the HTML-page by clicking the question button on the upper right.

@SeaRM Yes, thanks, I'd mentioned that option in my original question.
