[FEATURE]: Copy console text on click #4885
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Presently, when the bottom-of-the-screen console appears, there is no way to easily copy the text, as it is not selectable with the mouse (at least not in iTerm2).
It would be fantastic if the text in the bottom console could be automatically copied to the clipboard when the console was clicked on. This would be somewhat similar to how user messages can be copied when clicked on, but it would not require the modal dialogue appearing where you have to select the copy option, it could simply immediately be copy the clipboard when clicked.

Yeah the console also isn't scrollable either i dont think

@rekram1-node Correct. Really, I just want to be able to copy out enough of a snipped to paste back into another opencode instance so that I can tell a model "Hey, you screwed it up, look at this error and fix it: $THE_ERROR". Often models can puzzle it out from half of a stack trace, even if they don't see the whole thing, but being able to click and get the whole content in my clipboard would be even better.
Right now, my workflow for achieving this is to take a screenshot and then open it up in MacOS' Preview app to take advantage of its built in OCR so that I can copy (at least a part of) the stack trace from it. This gets the job done, but it's a bit awkward since it requires some additional steps and window-switching that we could in theory bypass if we had this feature.

Hi, I'd like to work on this issue.

@ImGoomes Great, go right ahead! I've taken a couple of stabs at it but haven't really gotten anywhere with it yet.

@ImGoomes let me know if you are still planning on working on this!

@ImGoomes if you haven't started I think @edlsh addressed this and didn't see your original comment. I think I am going to tweak the copy of this issue to mention the scrolling issue w/ the console box and if you would like to fix that instead it'd be highly appreciated

Hi @edlsh, you can go ahead with the issue, I've started but didn't finished yet!
