Description
newbees tend to ask quick questions with insufficient information about their setup. So a function that collects important data like:
- selected board
- IDE-Version,
- selected COM-Port,
- COM-Port-driver
- operating system
- include-files of opened *.INO-file
and copies this info to the clipboard
ready to paste into a posting would improve the process of giving helpful answers.
It would reduce the all-day ping-pong-game of
while (NewBeeDoesKnowVeryLittle) {
....newbee posts (insuficient) question
....helpers ask back
....newbee posts (still insuficient) question
}
getting the IDE's Version and the selected board should vrey easy
best regards Stefan

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so start by locating the Arduino IDE's existing board, version, serial-port, driver, operating-system, and sketch include information. Done would mean a user can collect the requested support details and copy them to the clipboard in a paste-ready form.
