--- Comment #1 from Harald Sitter <sit...@kde.org> ---
So, as it turns out there once was rigging for a generic "export to text"
feature. It was removed in 2015 because in the >=5 years it existed a grand
total of 0 modules used it. It is just a whole lot of work to support this sort
of feature for gaining little more than what CLI tools already do (and even
better / more complete).
The fact that ctrl-c works at all is incidentally inherited from QTreeView,
that's also why it has no UI backing. There is no specific support for it
whatsoever.
But not all is bad, I suppose we could add Copy context (right click) menus to
the treeviews, that'd at least make that particular functionality more
discoverable. You think that'd make sense?
There is a general problem with kinfocenter in a way. The primary use (in my
opinion anyway) of the advanced modules would be to copy stuff to post on bug
reports or forum posts, but that is a use case that is inherently bad to meet
with how the modules work. It'd be cool if you could outline some use cases for
when you want to copy stuff out of kinfocenter.
