Support copying version information #795

Description

@Marcono1234

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be useful if:

  • The extension provided a way to copy version information, i.e. extension version (maybe also VSCode version + operating system?) and CodeQL CLI version
  • The GitHub issue template for bug reports required version information

This would probably make reproducing issues earier, and in case a GitHub issue cannot be handled immediately, it is still later on comprehensible in which version the issue occurred.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. The extension should allow copying version information, e.g. by running a command or from a context menu opened clicking the text "CodeQL CLI vX.Y.Z" in the bottom right corner
  2. The GitHub issue template for bugs should have a section called "Version" (or similar) which tells the user to perform the extension action to copy version information

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative, or additional feature might also be generate and open a GitHub issue link from within the extension. This link could then contain the relevant information as URL query parameters.
