Stefan HallerandClaude Opus 5 5d1489bc92 Copy the selected diff lines from the focused main view
The main view shows a diff renderer's picture of a diff, and that is not
what you want on your clipboard: a renderer may drop the +/- column, move
the line numbers into a gutter, group a hunk's deletions before its
additions, or leave lines out altogether. So copying takes the lines from
the diff itself, locating them by the identity of the selected rows.

Only the panel that produced the diff can produce it again, though: the
working tree's staged or unstaged side, a commit's, a stash entry's. The
new seam is there for that. It asks per file, so that copying three lines
of a commit's diff doesn't fetch the whole of it, and it will grow the
actions on a selection as staging and patch building arrive.

The clipboard gets the run of diff lines from the first selected line of
a file to the last, so that lines the renderer hid come along and the
result still reads as a diff. Headers count as selected lines too. A hunk
header names the first line of its hunk, so it is looked for the way a
line of the file is. A file header names no line at all, and a rendering
may draw it over any number of rows, so a selection touching one of them
takes the whole header.

As in the patch explorers, a selection that is all additions or all
deletions loses its +/- column, ready to be pasted into code. One that
reaches into a header keeps the columns, and what comes out is a patch
fragment rather than lines of code.
