Description

This would be helpful when we copy text from @TeXstudio and paste into plain text boxes For example, while submitting a paper to a journal we often need to copy paste abstract to a plain text box in ManuscriptCentral, Evise websites. I often have to de-TeX the text and hide LaTeX markups. It would be great if TeXstudio can help.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how TeXstudio currently handles clipboard copying. Identify the relevant code that processes selected text and puts it on the clipboard. Then implement a new copy mode that strips LaTeX commands and special characters before copying, similar to existing text cleaning features. Use existing LaTeX parsing utilities if available.
