Describe the feature

When the hover window displays documentation, it would be extremely convenient to be able to move the cursor inside the hover window, search and copy text directly from the documentation.

For example: After a user presses Shift+K to open they hover window, they could press Shift+K again to move the cursor inside. Once inside, the user could easily scroll the view, search text within or copy from the examples provided in the documentation. This would enable making use of the examples really easy.

Currently, after opening the hover, the user needs to visually locate the term they are looking for and then fiddle with the mouse pointer (possibly multiple times) to get the correct selection before copying the desired text.

I believe this feature would not only be useful for displaying documentation, but also to copy errors provided by the LSP and other messages often displayed in the hover window.

Thanks for taking the time to create this issue! Closing this as a duplicate of #7284

I agree this would be very nice to have. It is not so easy to implement though, afaik Zed doesn't have code for cursoring around in non-monospace read-only content.
