README

@haphazarddev/pi-copy-code-block

Copy a code block from the latest assistant message straight to your clipboard.

Install

pi install npm:@haphazarddev/pi-copy-code-block

Or install from a local checkout:

pi install ./extensions/pi-copy-code-block

Usage

The extension registers:

  • /copy-code
  • Ctrl+Alt+C

Behavior:

  • if the latest assistant message has one code block, it copies immediately
  • if it has multiple code blocks, it opens a small picker with a preview of the code being copied
  • when code blocks are available, it shows a footer hint like ⎘ 1 code block • Ctrl+Alt+C to copy or ⎘ 3 code blocks • /copy-code • Ctrl+Alt+C

You can also target or format blocks directly:

/copy-code 2
/copy-code first
/copy-code last
/copy-code all
/copy-code fenced 2
/copy-code fenced all

Short aliases are supported too:

/copy-code f
/copy-code l

Notes

  • The extension scans the most recent completed assistant messages until it finds code blocks.
  • By default it copies the inner code from fenced code blocks, not the surrounding triple backticks.
  • fenced preserves the markdown fences and language when copying.
  • all copies all code blocks in latest-to-oldest order, joined by a configurable separator.
  • Code blocks are ordered latest to oldest, so the most recently visible block on screen is 1.
  • Multi-line previews in the picker show ⏎ … to indicate the copied block continues beyond the first line.
  • The picker supports 1-9, arrow keys, Enter, and Escape.

Config

The extension has a tiny config section at the top of index.ts:

  • showStatusHint
  • statusIcon
  • shortcut
  • previewWidth
  • copyAllSeparator
  • maxAssistantMessagesToScan

That makes it easy to disable the footer hint entirely, tune the icon and keyboard shortcut, adjust preview truncation, control how /copy-code all joins blocks, and change how far back the fallback search looks.
