> Text copied from a conversation is polluted with names and time stamps. "I really want this feature" said nobody ever
I want this feature in any "enterprise" chat app. In fact, more often than not if I copy multiple messages from multiple authors I want to have author/time metadata. For the very same reason we leave replied-to content in emails.
I agree that there should be mechanism to copy text only and even a setting to chose the default behavior.
Sure, if you're copying multiple messages in a conversation. Otherwise you're still able to select the name and time along with the message. Hijacking my clipboard with data I have not selected can fuck off.
In case of a single message yes. I guess sane default behavior is to copy content only with single message and content+metadate with multiple messages.
