Copy pasting from code blocks on the ducmentation tool frustrating and losing formatting

Documentation is

• Missing
• Outdated
• Confusing
• Not sure?

Explain in Detail

I tried to copy some text from the vite documentation to use in my own project. This experience is frustrating. Once you manage to select the text, vite also mangles your clipboard entry

Browser: Firefox 144.0 (64-bits) on Arch Linux

Your Suggestion for Changes

If a user starts selecting some text, do not show popups.

If a user has selected some text, do not clear the selecting when a popup shows

If a user starts selecting text, do not extend the text selection to the end of the document

If a user presses CTRL+C, copy the selected text directly to the clipboard, instead of adding random enters to the text

(This has worked flawlessly in the past)

Made an issue upstream: shikijs/shiki#1088

By the way, if you just need to copy the whole code, you can use the copy button instead.

It looks like the upstream bug report only applies to 1 of the 4 "Your Suggestion for Changes" issues, namely:

• If a user starts selecting some text, do not show popups.

it doesn't seem to address the following points:

• If a user has selected some text, do not clear the selecting when a popup shows
• If a user starts selecting text, do not extend the text selection to the end of the document
• If a user presses CTRL+C, copy the selected text directly to the clipboard, instead of adding random enters to the text

I did a test in another browser, all 4 of these issues are broken in Firefox, but not in Chromium

FWIW no1 will also fix no3, because the popup is a fixed element at the end of the html and if selected it'll match to the end of the html. And no2 is fixed with my noAutoFocus suggestion there.
