Description
### Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched [existing requests](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20label%3Aenhancement) and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
### Problem Statement
Currently there's no built-in copy button under Claude's responses in the VS Code extension / IDE integration. Selecting and copying text manually works, but a dedicated "copy" icon (similar to what Zed's assistant panel offers) would make it faster to grab a full response without manual selection.
### Proposed Solution
Feature request: add a copy-to-clipboard button under each assistant message.
### Alternative Solutions
_No response_
### Priority
Critical - Blocking my work
### Feature Category
CLI commands and flags
### Use Case Example
_No response_
### Additional Context

Research direction
Start by locating the VS Code extension or IDE integration that renders assistant responses and inspect how message actions are currently handled. Done means each assistant message has a copy-to-clipboard control that copies the full response; verify this across multiple responses.
