Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. just need an easy way to copy the transcript directly into the document that we're working in instead of just loading it in the sidebar

Describe the solution you'd like So just have another option that you can run using the command palette that allows you to do this.

Describe alternatives you've considered I've tried to drag and select the text from the sidebar but that doesn't work so there's no way to copy the text. click click

Additional context This would be super useful for AI related work where you want to embed content into a a large language model, for example.

@SunnyOd have you tried right click and choose copy all option?

Hi, @lstrzepek. Could you make the text selectable with the mouse? Cause sometimes we just want to copy some of them not all

@SunnyOd have you tried right click and choose copy all option?

This should be more obvious. Could we get a "Copy all" button up top instead of having to come to GitHub to figure this out?

For the most part I'm not interested in the tab which opens in the sidebar, or having to micromanage closing old ones. I'd much prefer using a command to fetch the entire transcript directly to my clipboard, or have it inserted at the cursor's position -- no tabs or even command palette (if triggered via hotkey) necessary.

Also, what is copied via "Copy all" isn't formatted well. Some sentences for the same timestamp are split across multiple when they should be on the same line. I'd expect one timestamp per line (#42).

This would be quite useful too.

would be nice to be able to copy the content via command, or even better, to be able to run: YT transcribe into current document

me and the mouse we don't like each other

i really need the ability to just paste the youtube link and have the transcript show up in the note. THe sidebar thing is hard to use on desktop and unusable on mobile, and involves a lot of extra clicking when it works at intended right now.

Just a "insert transcript from YouTube URL" into the note would be great

Edit: Note there is no Copy All in the transcript pane. i cannot use this plugin in it's current state. image

@Crazypedia right click (play around - only works in certain regions of the pane)
