Chat Markdown adds extra blank lines when pasting into Obsidian

[commit]

Copying Markdown from Cursor chat into Obsidian often inserts extra blank lines between bullet items and other places, which requires manual adjustments. Graphite chat copy does not do this, clean copy and paste. Can we improve this?

Hey, thanks for the report! This is an interesting issue with Markdown formatting when copying.

Could you share:

1. An example of the chat content that triggers the issue (before and after pasting into Obsidian, screenshots are OK)
2. Your Cursor version (Help > About)
3. What type of content you’re copying: bullet lists, code, or plain text?

Temporary workaround: try using Export Chat (the button in the top-right of the chat). It might produce cleaner Markdown.

Hey thanks sm for helping!!

My cursor version:

Content:
I think any list like above numbered/bullet.

Also I can’t copy code block, for example if I want to copy this directly:

It will become:

I have to tag it as Swift code manually like ```swift and copy the code itself. I think it would be easier if I could just select and copy (it detects the language and formats it as proper Markdown)

One more thing: backticks aren’t being copied for code whether I paste with Cmd+V or Shift+Cmd+V. Example:

Cursor:
