Content can be selected and a `CTRL-C` to copy the content into the clipboard. However, if the commit messages includes a resolved user/avatar link, the copied content will include the `alt` text of the user's profile. For example, this selection of a [commit message](https://gitlab.com/jdknight/git-commit-formatting/-/commit/671b0c5fb0d198441ccfd48bbcb45f1fc2950419) from GitLab's UI: {width=628 height=488} With result in the following content: ``` This is a test. With another line and sign-off. Signed-off-by: default avatarJames Knight <git@...> ``` It would be nice to not include `default avatar` in the copied content. This should be achievable by somehow applying the following style hint for avatars: ``` user-select: none; ```
