Could you try with latest stable Flutter version and therefore latest stable DevTools version?

I updated but I still can't copy it

Are you trying to copy from the Network profiler while embedded in VS Code? Also how are you trying to copy (ctrl / cmd + C, right-click + copy)?

CC @DanTup do we expect our post message workaround to be robust? If not, under what conditions is copying from VS code expected to be broken? is there anything we can do to push harder on VS Code here to fix the underlying issues?

I've been trying both ways you mentioned, but to no avail.

Facing same issue. Needs fix

The workaround is only for explicit calls to postMessage with command: "clipboard-write" (copyToClipboardVSCode()) which is used by the copy button in DevTools. Unfortunately keys like Cmd+C (and even Cmd+A) just don't seem to work at all in webviews in VS Code (although only for macOS, everything is fine for other OSes). Unfortunately I haven't been able to come up with any other workaround to capture the keypresses to try and do something ourselves (we basically never hear about the keypress, like something else has swallowed it).

The related VS Code issue is at microsoft/vscode#129178 and I made a repro of the issue for it (without DevTools) at https://github.com/DanTup/vs-code-webview-copy-paste.

I think the best way to raise the priority for VS Code would be to get more 👍 's on microsoft/vscode#129178. There are a lot of other issues that have been closed as a dupe of it, but it only has 41 so far.

There is also a slightly related issue in Flutter at flutter/flutter#142040, where you can select text without it having focus, so pressing Ctrl+C can copy something different (or nothing). I don't know which of the two issues are affecting those posting above though (if not on macOS, probably the latter, but otherwise probably the VS Code issue).

@elliette since this is a big complaint from our users, WDYT about adding copy buttons for each tab for a specific request/response?

• Response tab has an existing Copy-to-clipboard button.
• Request tab has an existing Copy-to-clipboard button, if there is a request body.
• Headers tab does not. This tab has 3 collapsible sections (at least?) inside, displayed vertically: General, Response Headers, Request Headers. Maybe each section can get it's own copy button.
• Overview tab does not.
