Pause Serial monitor to copy contents

[JohnRob]

I may be mistaken but I thought there was a "pause" option on the 1.18.xxx serial monitor that would allow one to copy the contents.
I don't see one now, is there a way to copy contents when the data is "streaming" by?

There is no "pause" in either, but you can control the autoscrolling behavior by clicking this icon ("Toggle Autoscroll"):

Note that there are some known bugs associated with copying text from the Arduino IDE 2.x Serial Monitor:

Thank your for the reply.

You are welcome. I'm glad if I was able to be of assistance.
