That's a good idea for a feature. I've added it to the pile - https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/issues/1506
If you can load the raw markdown, then you can copy and paste with the markdown link formatting.
I think the Reddit Enhancement Suite added a button to posts that would let you display the source. I can't check that right now.
For Lemmy, open a post on the website and look for the paper icon. That will let you view the source
If I got what you mean, then when formatting is pasted weird and I don't want the formatting, I try pasting into a text editor with no markdown enabled, such as Notepad++ and Sublime Text in a fresh install, then copy the pasted text if it came good.
That is not working either. And it doesn't seem to be so much of a piefied problem. It seems to not paste the hyperlink with the display name anywhere except if I use Libreoffice.
Seems like this would have an easy answer, but I'm not finding it either.
EDIT: Not sure if anyone cares, but here is how I went about making a solution.
- Highlight what I want to copy, right click, select
View Selection Source - Highlight the resultant HTML.
- Now I can copy with a simple middle click for the HTML, or hit
F5(A randomly chosen hotkey) to trigger a one liner (xclip -o | html2markdown | xclip -i) and now the clipboard is in markdown, so I can just do a middle click to paste the markdown.
It's a little clunky, but seems to work for me.
