What

Adds a Copy page split button to every doc page, with a dropdown:

Item Behaviour
Copy page Copies the page's raw Markdown to the clipboard (shows Copied for 2s)
View as Markdown Opens <page>.md in a new tab
Open in ChatGPT Opens ChatGPT with a prompt pointing at the page's .md URL
Open in Claude Opens Claude with the same prompt

Placement: on the title row (right edge of the text column) on wide screens; directly below the heading, left-aligned on small screens. Same component and behaviour as docs.plane.so (makeplane/docs#490, #491).

How

  • docs/.vitepress/theme/components/CopyPageMenu.vue (new) — split button + menu, driven by useData().page.filePath. Server-rendered in the doc-before slot; once mounted (and after each client-side page change) it teleports into a small host inserted right after the page <h1>, so it reads as part of the title block. Keyboard: Enter/Space opens and focuses the first item, arrow keys cycle, Escape closes and returns focus; click-outside closes.
  • docs/.vitepress/theme/components/copy-page-icons.ts (new) — inline SVG glyphs.
  • docs/.vitepress/theme/Layout.vue — mounts the component in the doc-before slot.
  • docs/.vitepress/theme/plane-ui.css — placement rules for both positions (H1 reserves room for the control on wide screens so long titles wrap instead of colliding; on small screens the pre-teleport position is hidden to avoid a jump).
  • docs/index.mdcopyPage: false (hub page). Any page can opt out the same way.

No config, plugin, or server changes: buildEnd() already emits every page's .md twin (version tokens resolved) and production serves it as text/markdown, which is what the menu uses.

Verified

  • pnpm check:format, pnpm check:types, pnpm build pass; SSR HTML contains the button, none on home/404; .md mirror has no unresolved version tokens.
  • Browser (dev): title-row placement on /dev-tools/mcp-server, an API two-column page, and a self-hosting page with an edition badge in the H1; small screens show H1 → Copy page → first paragraph with the menu anchored to the button; copy writes the full raw Markdown; menu links keep neutral colour on hover; no new console warnings.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a Copy Page menu to documentation pages.
    • Copy page content as Markdown with clipboard and fallback support.
    • Open page content directly in ChatGPT or Claude.
    • Added keyboard, focus, Escape-key, dark-theme, responsive, and accessibility support.
    • Added responsive placement alongside page titles.
  • Configuration

    • Disabled the Copy Page menu for the documentation index page.

Adds a split button on the page-title row of every doc page (below the
heading on small screens):

- Copy page: copies the page's raw Markdown to the clipboard
- View as Markdown: opens the page's .md in a new tab
- Open in ChatGPT / Open in Claude: hands the .md URL to the AI tool

Uses the per-page .md mirror buildEnd() already emits (version tokens
resolved), so no config or server changes. Pages can opt out with
copyPage: false (the home page does).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation theme adds a copy-page split button. It retrieves Markdown, supports clipboard fallbacks, links to Markdown and AI tools, and adapts its placement and styling across layouts and themes.

Changes

Adds Markdown loading and caching, clipboard fallbacks, copy status handling, accessible menu actions, navigation reset behavior, and Markdown, OpenAI, and Claude icons.
Layout placement and responsive presentation
docs/.vitepress/theme/Layout.vue, docs/.vitepress/theme/plane-ui.css, docs/index.md, docs/.vitepress/theme/components/CopyPageMenu.vue
Renders the menu through the doc-before slot, places it near the page title, applies responsive and theme styling, and disables it for the documentation index page.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2efdc

The new menu can leave keyboard users without focus on its trigger after copying, creating a minor accessibility issue. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to restore focus.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore focus after a menu copy action.

When a keyboard user activates the menu "Copy page" button, close() unmounts the focused menu item. Focus then moves to the document body. Call close(true) so the toggle button regains focus.

Proposed fix
 async function copy(): Promise<void> {
-  close();
+  close(true);
   if (status.value === "busy") return;
