Is your feature request related to a problem?

I need Postman app to stp showing the popup "set as variable" every damn time I select a piece of text in request URL, parameters or literally any other input! image

I only need to select the text to copy it or to delete a piece or replace with something else, why do you overlap half of the selection with a popup that I will never use?

Describe the solution you'd like

Just stop this crap from happening or make a configurable option to enable it, and keep it OFF by default!

Make it a context menu action, for G-d's sake!

+1 this is especially annoying when I make the Params or Headers boxes very small and try to select text to copy!

@giridharvc7 has there been any traction towards removing this annoying behaviour or making it optional?

+1 - Maybe add a toggle setting in Settings > General > User Interface. e.g. "Offer to set selected text as a variable on select." image

Also, keep the field focused when alt/cmd-tabbing away from Postman. Now you have to re-select any field that you were typing in when you switch back to the app.

I agree, it would be nice if we could turn it off. Sometimes I click it by accident, it can be a bit distracting. Thanks!
