How to copy error message in Android Studio tooltip

Question

How can you select or copy the error tooltips that appear when hovering over code in Android Studio?

For example:

Is there a key command? I'm on Mac if that's relevant. Thanks!

Answer 1

On Windows: try,

1. Hover over the yellow popup text
2. Alt+LeftMouseClick
3. The 'yellow text' should now be on your clipboard, ready to paste.

That is it!

Answer 2

The older solutions don't seem to be working for me. Not sure if the behavior changed, but here is what is working for me on a Mac with Android Studio 3.4:

1. press control + option simultaneously
2. hover over the text that has an error
3. click on the tooltip when it pops up.
