Describe the problem

The title says it all:
IDE 2.0.3 unable to copy content of serial monitor with ctrl-a / ctrl-c

don't you think that it is crucial for debugging to have this function?

To reproduce

take any code of your choice that prints to the serial monitor 20 to 50 lines
stop the printing (f.e. by unplugging the µC.

click into area of serial monitor
Try to use ctrl-a, ctrl-c
nothing happends

Expected behavior

take any code of your choice that prints to the serial monitor 20 to 50 lines
stop the printing (f.e. by unplugging the µC.

click into area of serial monitor
Try to use ctrl-a, ctrl-c
all content of the serial monitor is copied to the clipboard

Arduino IDE version

Additional context

I checked all the checkboxes. It is my full intention to create another ISSUE as a bug-report on this
despite there are multiple similar issues.

I feel it is a bottomless cheek to advertise the IDE 2.0.3 as the "current version" of the IDE and still not have this function installed!

What are the reasons to NOT add this functionality?
