README

pi-copy-block

Grab a code block out of pi's recent replies and put it on your clipboard.

demo

Pi ends a lot of turns with something you're meant to run or paste: a fenced block in its prose, or a bash tool call waiting for approval. Selecting that text with the mouse inside a TUI is fiddly, and it picks up the surrounding borders. /copy-block pulls it out cleanly.

Install

pi install npm:@joelazar/pi-copy-block

Usage

Run /copy-block. The extension scans the last ten assistant replies and gathers from each, in the order they appear:

the body of every fenced code block in the message text, with the fences and language tag stripped
the command argument of every bash tool call

One match goes straight to the clipboard. Several open a picker: the list on the left shows each block's first line tagged with its reply (R1 is the latest reply), the pane on the right shows the highlighted block. ←/→ scroll a long block. Navigation follows your tui.select.* keybindings.

If none of the replies has a block, you get a warning and the clipboard is left alone.
