Is your suggestion related to a problem? Please describe.

I have difficulties selecting (copying) the name of a room so that I can share it with someone. If I go to the room settings, I cannot select the Main address, to copy it to send it to someone.

Describe the solution you'd like.

An easy way to copy the address of a room to send it to someone.

@janvlug, what would the benefit of this? You can already mention the room in a message (if the other user is on Matrix already) or you can share a link to that room using the share dialog

I'm on Fedora 34 GNOME Wayland Firefox. It is not possible to select the main address there.
If I choose Select All, all text in the page is selected, except the Main address:

So I think this is really an issue on my platform.
@t3chguy, could you please re-open this issue?

@SimonBrandner, the benefit would be that I could provide a room identifier to someone using another mechanism than Matrix. I could not find the share dialog in the element-web version.
