Context Menu Issue: Only "Copy Entire Message" Option Available

[soyuz43]

Description:

The current context menu in LMstudio only has one option, "Copy Entire Message", which is limiting and counterintuitive. A context menu with only one option is essentially a longer way to implement the same behavior as the terminal's Copy-on-select or Copy-on-highlight feature.

To make matters worse, if you want to copy a specific portion of the text, and you forgetfully use right-click to try and do so, you have to:

• Click off the message to deselect the text

• Reselect the desired text

• Remember to use the keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl+C) to copy the selection, since the context menu only offers "Copy Entire Message"

This behavior is inconsistent with most applications, which typically offer a "Copy" or "Copy Selection" option in the context menu. This inconsistency causes wasted time and frustration.

Severity: Minor (but affects usability)

Reproducibility: Always (when right-clicking on selected text)

Environment: LMstudio GUI application (version [insert version number])

Expected Behavior:

• A context menu with multiple options, including "Copy Selection" or "Copy"

• Ability to copy selected text using the context menu or keyboard shortcuts

Actual Behavior:

• A context menu with only one option, "Copy Entire Message"

• No ability to copy selected text using the context menu

Request:

Please update the context menu to include a "Copy Selection" or "Copy" option, allowing users to easily copy selected text without having to use keyboard shortcuts or work around the current limitation. This will improve the user experience and make the application more intuitive to use.
