I love to use the buttons that appear when selecting a certain text. You can click on Quote, Copy Quote or Ask AI. Unfortunately this is not possible in Discourse Chat right now.
Steps to quote in a topic right now
- Select some text and click on the button and you’re done.
Steps to quote in Chat right now:
- Click on this button:
- Go to the left and select the messages in Chat:
- Go to the bottom and click on Quote in Topic or Copy

Problem
Right now everyone in our team just makes a screenshot from a Chat. They paste the screenshot in a topic. This is a waste of webspace.
Solution
It would be very useful if selecting text inside a Discourse Chat triggered the same quote buttons as in topics. It should have the same buttons: Quote, Copy Quote and Ask AI.
Thanks for considering this feature request.
Feel free to close or merge this topic if a related topic already exists. I searched if someone else already askes this question, but could not find related topics. Search results for 'Select and Quote Chat Text into Topics' - Discourse Meta
