Problem Statement
The right-click context menu does not include a "Copy" option for selected text. Please add a standard Copy item to the context menu so users can copy just their selection without relying on keyboard shortcuts.
Steps to reproduce:
Select a portion of text in a Claude Code response
Right-click
Expected: Context menu includes a "Copy" option that copies the selected text
Actual: No "Copy" option in the menu (or it copies the entire message block)
Environment:
Platform: Windows 10
Claude Code: desktop app
