Security note

Pi packages can execute code and influence agent behavior. Review the source before installing third-party packages.

README

@kevinweber/pi-copy-prompt

Copy your current Pi draft to the clipboard with ⌘Y on macOS (super+y). Collapsed pasted text is copied in full, and the editor briefly shows prompt copied.

Install

pi install npm:@kevinweber/pi-copy-prompt@1.0.0

Behavior

  • Copies draft text without submitting it, preserving whitespace and expanding collapsed pastes.
  • Does not copy system instructions, conversation history or attachments.
  • Leaves the clipboard unchanged when the draft is empty or whitespace-only.
  • Reports clipboard errors.

Compatibility and privacy

Requires Node.js >=22.19.0 and Pi with custom-editor and expanded-paste support.

Your terminal must support the Super/Command modifier, typically through the Kitty keyboard protocol, and pass the shortcut through to Pi. ctrl+y keeps its usual yank behavior.

Do not combine this package with another custom-editor extension or a local copy of this extension. Pi supports only one custom editor at a time.

Remote clipboard copying requires terminal support for OSC 52; the confirmation cannot guarantee that the terminal accepted it. Copied text may be saved in clipboard history or synced to other devices.
