@matheusbbarni/pi-copy-button

Copy any Pi message as it appears in the terminal.

Every user message, assistant reply, tool box, and bash result gets a ⧉ control in the top-right. Click it to copy the visible text: rendered markdown, checkmarks, collapsed previews — not the raw session payload.

$ rtk git commit --no-verify -m "test: add failing parseFollows"          ⧉

Features

• Adds a copy control to user, assistant, tool, custom, and bash messages
• Copies the rendered TUI text, including collapsed tool previews
• Click-to-copy in the fullscreen TUI; Cmd/Ctrl-click in the inline TUI
• /copy-text and /copy-text pick when you would rather use the keyboard

Install

pi install npm:@matheusbbarni/pi-copy-button

From this repo:

pi -e ./pi-copy-button

Or as a local package:

pi install ./pi-copy-button

[!TIP] If Pi is already open, run /reload.

Usage

Action	Result
Click ⧉ in fullscreen	Copy that message as shown
Cmd-click / Ctrl-click ⧉ inline	Same, via OSC 8
/copy-text	Copy the last shown message
/copy-text pick	Choose from recent messages

[!NOTE] Built-in /copy and Ctrl+X still copy the last assistant message's source text. This package copies whatever is currently on screen.

Collapsed tool output copies the preview. Expand it first if you want the full dump.
