Normally you wouldn’t be able to do anything about that: the context menu looks like it adds an action with a command id (aka definition id). The command/definition id is used to determine keybindings, but it doesn’t allow overriding the action.
But IOConsolePage/TextConsolePage seems to pull its content from its global actions, and these global actions are configured using a protected method setGlobalActions(). So with a bit of reflection, it looks like you might be able to replace the ‘copy’ command with your own action. Something like the following (completely untested, and may break at any moment).
public void init(IPageBookViewPage page, IConsole console) {
// …
Method setGlobalActionMethod = …;
setGlobalActionMethod.setAccessible(true);
setGlobalActionMethod.invoke(page, new Object[] {
page.getSite().getActionBars(),
ActionFactory.COPY.getId(),
new AnsiConsoleCopyIconAction() });
}
