Description Ilya Bizyaev 2024-01-02 23:48:28 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. System Monitor > Processes
2. Enable the “Command” column

OBSERVED RESULT
Truncated commands are displayed, centered horizontally within their cells for some reason. On hover, the full command is displayed in a tooltip, but there is no way to copy it.

EXPECTED RESULT
Right-clicking the process gives an option to copy its launch command.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20231226
KDE Plasma Version: 5.91.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.248.0
Qt Version: 6.6.1
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This was not a problem in Plasma 5, as the process list launched with Ctrl+Esc had an incredibly comfy “Details…” action that let you view and copy (Ctrl+C) any information available about a process.

Add a new menu item to copy the current column's text

It wasn't possible before to copy the column text, which is especially
useful for the PID and Command columns. This adds a new context menu
item to do this.
