…ment-hq#30323) * Add quote functionality to MessageContextMenu (element-hq#29893) * Remove unused import of getSelectedText from strings utility in EventTile component * Add space after quoted text in ComposerInsert action * Add space after quoted text in MessageContextMenu test * add new line before and after the formated text
Fixes: #29893
What:
This PR adds a “Quote” option to the MessageContextMenu component, allowing users to quote a partial selection of text from a message.
Why:
This feature makes quoting selected text from a message quicker and more convenient by adding a dedicated option to the context menu.
Before:
There was no built-in way to quote a message from the context menu — users needed to copy the text manually and add a > at the beginning to create a quote.
After:
A new “Quote” option appears in the message context menu. When users select text in a message and click “Quote”, the selected text is automatically inserted into the composer with the correct > formatting.
Testing:
Added unit tests for the new context menu option and quoting behavior.
Steps to test:
