Problem Statement

I frequently copy content from the Claude window for documentation, but it loses all formatting, including Headers, bulleted lists, code and code blocks.

Not only is this a waste, but it means I need to instruct Claude to create the markdown files, which doesn't contain exactly the information I want, is 10x longer, and consumes a lot of context.

Proposed Solution

Right click copy markdown, or SHIFT+CTRL+C, or preferably-

Automatically copy as markdown when you cross markdown boundaries, e.g. a heading + a code block.
