@v-rpundir would it be sufficient to have an exportBuffer action which the user can bind to a keybinding for exporting the text? (As discussed in #9700, #11090)? They would still have access to the functionality, but via the command palette / keybindings instead of via the tab context menu.

@zadjii-msft Yup exportBuffer action will be sufficient for exporting the text, just like you have actions for 'Rename tab' or 'Duplicate tab' which is also present in tab context menu.

Hi @carlos-zamora the latest build I have is Terminal Preview 1.12.3472.0 so I will keep this work in my To-Do list for now and will check when mentioned build is available here.

It will be better if you can provide us mentioned build us to verify the same.
