Feature Request – Ability to Copy Schema Name in “Connections” Window (Ctrl+C)

[adrian_star]

Hello,
I would like to propose a small usability improvement for the Connections window in PL/SQL Developer.

Current​

In the Connections module, there is a tree/list of available schemas that users can connect to. This list is frequently used when switching between different database users.

Currently, it is not possible to copy the name of a selected schema directly from this list.

The only available option related to copying is: Right click → Copy list which copies the entire list of connections. However, there is no option to copy the name of a single selected schema.

Suggested enhancement​

Allow users to copy the name of the currently selected schema in the Connections list.

Possible implementation options:

• Support the standard shortcut Ctrl + C
• Add a context menu option such as “Copy schema name”
• Allow copying the selected entry text directly to the clipboard

Why this matters​

This would be useful in many everyday situations, for example:

• Administrative or maintenance tasks
• Writing scripts or documentation
• Referencing schema names in SQL scripts
• Sharing schema names in communication with team members
• Preparing configuration files or deployment scripts

In these situations, users often need to reference the exact schema name, and the current workaround requires manually retyping it.

Benefits​

Adding this functionality would:

• Improve usability
• Reduce manual typing errors

This is a small feature but would make the Connections window more convenient and consistent with typical clipboard interactions in modern tools.

Thank you for considering this enhancement.


Best regards,
Adrian
