Came here looking to see if this was possible. Would be super useful. Wanted to paste a webcal link, which is a long single line. The scrollbar is nice for formatting but it also made copying more difficult so instead I opted for quoting it.

```

Would also be nice if triple-clicking preformatted text or quoted text would only highlight what’s inside.
