Copy deleted lines from Diff View (hunk & inline)
Add the ability to copy / paste deleted lines when viewing diffs in inline and hunk views.
Right now the workaround is to use the split view to copy the deleted line(s).

Lyndon GingerichHowever, this would presumably remove the ability to copy just the current code; any copied code would include both old and new lines from the diff.

John ThomsonThere is already a right-click command to 'Copy deleted line', which is some help, though it took me a long time to discover. Something like 'copy deleted hunk' to get a group of contiguous deleted lines would go a long way towards meeting this need.
But the ideal would be that the default behavior is what you would normally expect: you can select and copy whatever you can see. Right-clicking on a selection could offer options like "copy only added text." -
