The CTRL+SHIFT+C keyboard shortcut in ChatGPT was previously used to copy responses in a clean, well-formatted manner — particularly helpful for automation, documentation, and integration workflows where maintaining formatting (e.g., markdown, code blocks) was essential.
With the deprecation of this feature, part of my automation has broken, as I relied on it to consistently extract responses without extra UI elements or assistant preamble — just the raw, neatly formatted output.
Can This Be Achieved Using the API?
I’m looking for a way to replicate the exact output format shown in normal ChatGPT chats using the API, as maintaining formatting is crucial for my use case. Clean markdown formatting, especially for code blocks and structured responses, is important — and I’d like to know if the API can return responses in the same style and quality as ChatGPT’s web interface did via the CTRL+SHIFT+C shortcut.
