[FEATURE]: Copy message as raw markdown

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

There currently seems no way to copy the LLM's markdown response as markdown. Highlighting the message and selecting strips all the markdown formatting, making it somewhat useless.

Conveniently there's a UI for clicking and copying the message text of the original prompt:

But this seems to only work for the first message, not subsequent ones.

Something like this, or a shortcut like the c key in crush would be nice to be able to copy the entire message contents (of a clicked message) in its raw format.

Note

This issue was previously #14041, but github actions stale bot closed it. It's a popular feature request though...

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

[FEATURE]: Copy message as raw markdown #14041: Identical request ("Copy message as raw markdown") by the same author, closed by the stale bot — you've already noted this in the issue.
[FEATURE]:One Key Copy #32160: Similar request for a one-key copy button to copy replies in Markdown format.

If those don't fully cover your use case, it may help to leave a comment on the open one (#32160) or reference the closed #14041 so maintainers can consolidate.

Much needed feature.

it would be nice

In search for this and finding this issue, something very similar but only for the last message already exists:

And yes, this gives you the raw markdown.

But I agree and also would benefit from doing this from any message in the conversation.

Gave it a shot with #49601 🤞🏼

@taoeffect

Thanks for re-filing this, @taoeffect! You'd like a way to copy any assistant message in the TUI, not just the latest one, as its raw Markdown, instead of the rendered text that mouse selection gives you.

Right now only clicking a user message opens Message Actions (with Copy). For replies, /copy (or <leader>y) copies the raw text of the last assistant message, so it works for the most recent reply but not for earlier ones.

Related issues and PRs:

feat(tui): copy assistant responses #49601: open PR that adds a right-click Message Actions → Copy to assistant responses and keeps the raw Markdown
[FEATURE]: Copy message as raw markdown #14041: your earlier request for this, closed by the stale bot
[FEATURE]: Desktop: copy any assistant message as raw markdown #56672: the same request for the Desktop app
tui: /copy misses final reply text when the last assistant message has no text part (+ args proposal) #56281: /copy can miss the final reply text, and asks for a way to copy older replies
TUI copy should preserve logical text instead of rendered layout #47165: TUI copy should keep the underlying text rather than the on-screen layout

Maintainers will consider this.
