Context
Selecting note text automatically adds it to Copilot chat context, but the editor’s Copilot menu still offers “Add selection to chat context.” The redundant action suggests that an extra step is required.
User experience
The editor menu should show Quick Ask, quick commands, and enabled custom commands. Users can continue adding selections automatically or through the manual command in the command palette.
Proposed behavior
- Remove “Add selection to chat context” from the editor’s Copilot submenu.
- Preserve the command-palette action and assigned shortcuts.
Explicit non-goals
Changing automatic selection context, other menu actions, or saved shortcuts.
Success criteria
- Select text in a note and open the editor’s Copilot submenu: the redundant action is absent, while other actions remain.
- Select note text with Copilot chat open: the selection badge appears automatically.
- Remove that badge and run the manual selection command: the badge returns.
- Custom commands remain visible when enabled for the context menu.
Open questions / Risks
Check both Obsidian-rendered and OS-native menus. No data migration is required.
