When I'm looking at a failed test or exception I often need to look closer at the exception details that are provided in the tooltip and/or the show exception details window. A lot of times though I just want that data into the clipboard so I can throw it in Notepad++ so I can see the details easier and do things like realign the message in the viewer. (Think to string tests, or when you need to compare expected/actual values and you can't immediately see the difference)
I would like to suggest to provide in the context menu on the Exception gutter icon to copy exception details to clipboard.
(Currently I open the Show exception details, go down into the bottom frame, Ctrl-A/Ctrl-C then go to Notepad++ and Ctrl-V. Which is functional but somewhat clunky)
Thanks!
This probably won't solve your problem completely, but if you have not tried it yet, you may want to take a look at Layout O Rama.
When I need to see exception details, I press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+2 to switch to a custom window layout with a big NCrunch Tests window sits in another monitor.

Thanks yanglee,
Layout O Rama looks like it would be a useful tool all around as I typically use 3 different workstation setups. I'll probably look into it but I'll still hold out for a context menu :) As it would be about as many keystrokes for a lot of the cases when I actually need to move stuff to notepad for alignment and what not.
