As a user I'd love to be able to select a piece of text I've entered in a comment box and click on a button to add the block quote prefix. ie: Imagine this is a rather long stack trace I would then select that text, click a button and it would become: > Imagine > this is > a rather > long stack > trace

Good suggestion, but a new button is not even needed. It would suffice to improve the behaviour of the existing reply button:

  • click on reply button without any text selected --> quote entire comment
  • select text portion + click on reply button --> quote selected text portion only. This is requested in bug 1898098.

This is how most Internet forums / message boards handle it.
