Copy and paste files from the search tab

Issue Type: Feature Request

It might be useful to copy a file from the search results tab in one editor and paste it to a folder in a different editor.

Can you explain some more about this? Not actually sure we can paste files across editors. It doesn't work from the explorer view currently at least.

Sorry for the delay in my answer, this is what I mean:

1. Open two editors (A, B)
2. Search for something in editor A
3. Copy a file from results
4. Paste the file in editor B. As, you will see Paste option is not available.

We can copy/paste from/to different editors in the explorer but not in search results.
