Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

If I press Ctrl + E and begin typing a command in the command window, sometimes I'd like to copy that command out to save it into a notes document. However, I can't. I am unable to copy the command out to paste it elsewhere. I should be able to press Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Shift + C to copy out from there.

I can paste into the command box, but not copy out from it. Please enable copying from it.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Ctrl + E command window and its existing paste handling. Check how Ctrl + C and Ctrl + Shift + C are processed there, then verify that command text can be copied into an external notes document without breaking paste into the command box.
