1442249 - [Netmonitor] Add Copy context menu to json response

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

The console has a nice Copy context menu for JS objects / arrays. It would be nice if this context menu was also available in the Netmonitor response tab (and probably also in the JSON viewer that pops up when opening the request in a new tab). See screenshot.

I find myself often wanting to copy the json, or - important! - only part of it. For instance when the response would set state in React and I want to try out by copying it into my IDE.

I like the idea.

For now, you can right click on the request-entry and pick:
Copy -> Copy Response

Hello! I am using version 60.8.0esr (64-bit) and this context menu isn't appearing when I right-click in any of the sub-menus for the Network section of Developer Tools. I've tested on OSX and Windows and neither presents a context menu with the option to copy details as JSON. Some further information - this was working on 15 August 2019 but is not working today (22 August 2019).

Ignore the previous comment. Installing version 68.0.2 fixed the issue.
