Vscode: Show error messages in a better way when the message is very long

[Zarel]

• VSCode Version: 1.5.2
• OS Version: macOS Sierra beta

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a file/directory with an error

Expected: The error is readable

Result: The error is cut off and there's no way to read the rest of the error

@Zarel hovering over the message should show the full error, does it not?

[Zarel]

I'm pretty sure that was one of the first things I tried, but it's possible I forgot to...

[Zarel]

Oh, hey, it does.

It seems like it'd be better if the error message were multiline so I could read it without a tooltip.

This might seem like a small thing (because it is 😄 ) but it interrupts keyboard flow because it requires a mouse action. As someone migrating from vim, I'd really appreciate a mouseless way to read long error messages. 🙏

Plus, it's not exactly convenient possibly having to manually write the error down instead of being able to copy/paste...

I hope I can get complete message by right click on it and there's copy full message menuitem to select, or it can be expanded to see the complete message. Complete message is important to search the answer in the internet.
