A user, Moin, noticed that the “read” and “copy link” options are not available to hide in the post_menu_hidden_items setting, unlike other options like “share”. They questioned whether this was intentional or an oversight. donaldsoncd expressed interest in hiding the “copy link” option and suggested allowing any item to be hidden from the post menu. Jagster cautioned that removing “copy link” might inconvenience PWA users, as it’s a primary way to get post or topic links. Later, donaldsoncd confirmed they had hidden the “copy link” option and noted that while it reduces interface clutter, the topic link remains accessible at the bottom. The discussion highlights a potential bug or oversight in the post_menu_hidden_items setting.
Continuing the discussion from Post Share now Link Copy Only?:
While I had a look at the post_menu setting, I noticed that not all items in that list are a choice in the post_menu_hidden_items. Is there a reason why “read” and “copy link” are not allowed to be hidden? Since you can, for example, hide “share”, I had the impression someone just forgot to add them.
Is this confirmed as a bug or something forgotten? I would love to be able to hide “copyLink”. Would be nice if you could hide whatever you wanted from the “Post menu”.
Perhaps taking it away from that menu setting?
One warning. Your PWA-users may dislike that, because thatnis practically only way to get the link of a post or topic.
Thanks. That’s what I ended up doing. Months later (today), I needed to copy a link to a specific post and couldn’t so I ended up finding this bug topic and I see that I’ve already posted here 
In the interest of keeping the interface less overwhelming, I am going to keep it hidden since none of my Forum users ever ask about it.
I would note though the link to the overall topic is still available at the bottom even if you remove “copyLink” from the “Post Menu” setting.
