Bug report - serial monitor

I want to save output to a file. What doesn't work:

  1. Ctrl+A doesn't select the text from serial monitor
  2. If I manually select the text Ctrl+C copies only slice that is visible in monitor, not all text selected

** it would be handy to add some button to save it directly with timestamp

This is common knowledge (and often frustration) :smiley: You can search this forum for it as well as Issues · arduino/arduino-ide · GitHub.

If you want to save to file, you're much better off to use a 3rd party terminal program that allows you save to file.
