Summary
Today /copy copies the entire last assistant response to the clipboard. Often I only want a specific part — most commonly a single fenced code block from a longer answer that also includes prose, multiple commands, or several code snippets.
Request
When I run /copy, present a picker of copyable segments from the last response, for example:
- The full response (current behavior, as default)
- Each fenced code block, listed individually with a short preview and language tag
Selecting one copies just that segment to the clipboard.
Prior art
Claude Code does this: invoking its copy action on a response that contains fenced code shows a small menu so you can pick the whole response or any individual code block.
Why
Right now if the response has prose plus a code block, I have to either:
/copy the whole thing and then manually strip the prose in another editor, or- Select with the mouse, which is fiddly across wrapped lines / terminal renderers and often picks up stray characters (see related copy-selection issues).
A built-in picker keyed off the markdown structure the CLI already renders would be much nicer.
