Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
When exception is thrown, it's now logged via log_for_exception or something similar. There is traceback in sorta QTextEdit, it's only possible to copy selected text by right-clicking and selecting Copy from the menu, for some reason hotkeys doesn't work there. It would be cool if hotkeys works as well.

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
idk

Research direction

Start by locating the log_for_exception entry point and the QTextEdit used to display traceback text. Check how keyboard copy actions are handled there; done means selected traceback text can be copied with standard hotkeys as well as the context menu.
