i'm very much more options = more choice 😉 - but I understand your concern and that was partly the reason I said on right click (leaving left click alone). In a sense, it would be something that had to be discovered, looked for or told about - but those of us who do know the difference it is a bonus.

The way I view this is, we have to keep telling users if they copy for a function, add `msg.`, if you copy an array element path for mustache, change to the `.x.` format - or - we tell them to right click the copy path button.

Better of the two evils IMO.
