Adds a Compare with Clipboard action to the Console view, allowing users to compare console output directly with text currently available in the clipboard using Compare Editor. This simplifies a common debugging and development workflow by eliminating the need to manually copy console output into a separate editor or comparison tool. Users can quickly identify differences between console output and expected or reference content, making it easier to investigate test failures, verify generated output, and diagnose unexpected results
