A simple element in the right-click menu with something like 'Copy Selection Source' under the view would do it. I'd have a go at writing a patch for it myself but I'm not sure where to start. Reproducible: Always
I would like to request this feature as well. "Copy as HTML" or something, both in context menu, and Edit main menu. Thanks!
