Data Loss Prevention / Disabling Copying to Clipboard

[mklebrasseur]

I know you can prevent downloading files, is there a way to disabling copy from within the workspace?

There is no way to disable copy at the moment although I think it would be fairly straightforward, might even be able to allow copying in a way that allows you to paste copied text inside code-server but not outside the browser which would avoid at least some of the productivity hit disabling copying would cause. It would still be trivial to copy data since you could open the network tab of the browser dev tools and copy the contents out of the web socket messages along with a few other workarounds. I know this sort of thing is about making exfiltration harder, not impossible, but just something to be aware of.
