Our copy and paste limitations are awfully low. I cannot copy and paste a decent sized section. If I do, then it gets completely snipped and I have to find the points to copy and paste and slowly append them to preserve chat history in a markdown file. I do this at times to capture it in case of things like auto-compaction. However, the only other option is to export the thread but I don't want the whole thread. I'm just trying to get a section of it I need. It would be great if the export tool allows you to basically pick a start and stop section you wanted to export. That would probably also reduce people using tokens to do this work and save you all a lot of unnecessary token burn.
