would be nice, but not a blocker.

Pretty annoying as I try to document problems with Indexing.  Had to resort to Apples windowed screen shots, but it's impractical to do that 14 times (each 24 item page in the scroll).  Command-A selects them all just fine, but 
there's no way to Command-C copy them or Command-S save them to a file....

aceman, even single line copy would be a good step forward

Something like there is in the Error console?

And also because text-capturing tools (e.g. GetWindowText) never work on a Mozilla UI...

By chance I got a tiny app Textify that can grab any text anywhere (including Mozilla/Chrome UI).
See in its page (and its settings) for details:

This is resolved in v102.
Select the text and Ctrl+C.
