Description

### Describe the bug

## Summary
The `/skills` command opens an interactive UI where mouse drag selection is intercepted, so users cannot copy text with normal mouse selection.

## Expected behavior
Users should be able to select and copy skill output with the mouse (or have an explicit copy/export affordance in that UI).

## Actual behavior
Mouse selection is captured by the `/skills` UI. Copy works in regular CLI output, but not in the `/skills` screen.

## Why this is a problem
The UI makes it difficult to copy skill names/details for reuse, sharing, or documentation.

## Repro steps
1. Run Copilot CLI.
2. Execute `/skills`.
3. Try selecting text with the mouse.
4. Observe that selection/copy is not possible as in normal terminal output.

## Notes
- This appears specific to the interactive `/skills` UI, not standard output rendering.
- A plain-text `skills` output remains copyable.
