[FEATURE] Allow copy-as-markdown from the Claude VSCode Extension
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
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.
