Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

When I want to write tests and select a text it always shows me the "set as variable" popup window which is very annoying because it doesnt close on "ESC" button press. Furthermore, I don't want to set anything as variable when I am writing a test. I think this popup window should be disabled for the Tests.

Steps to reproduce

Create a request
Click on Tests
Write a test
Select a text inside the Tests window
Watch Set as variable popup appear and annoy you

Environment

Production

Version

Local

This doesn't seem to be a bug since this is an intended behavior. Selecting any text from editor instances asks the user to set the selected text as an environment variable.

It seems this UX can be improved hence, the ability to disable this pop-up in selective editor instances seems a good idea. Welcome to open discussions.
