Description nilskemail+kde 2025-04-02 22:37:09 UTC
All the bug report templates prompt the reporter to provide system information via kinfo. Executing and subsequently copying this information is a process which could be speed up if kinfo always put the data into the clipboard or provided a flag (`kinfo --copy`) to automatically do this
Comment 1 nilskemail+kde 2025-04-02 22:39:32 UTC
I am aware that wl-copy exists and does this but as Qt already has the respective methods to do this I see no reason to provide this natively.

I can see this removing a bit of friction, no matter how small
As a corollary, in About This System, there's a Copy button there

Yes, which - for some reason - does not provide the exact same content. It also copies the product name (i.e. Framework Laptop 13 AMD) in my case. Not sure if this is intended or not
