If it is just text selection that is holding you back and you want to
continue with your UI experiments, why not abandon text selection? If
the user really wants text selection, you could offer a view-source
of the raw content in a vanilla text window, and the user can select
from there in a very straightforward way. You could even scroll to
the line offset to help if you wanted.

Aside from being an interesting experiment, I want Moonlander to besomething polished. Having to open secondary windows to do something as"basic" (in terms of user interaction) as copy/paste wouldn't be gooddesign.

Aside from that, the infrastructure for at least basic text selectionwould be required to handle inline links in formats like Markdown, ifthey were to get implemented.
