README

Install

# From npm
pi install npm:pi-copy-output

# From git
pi install git:github.com/jal-co/pi-copy-output

Or try without installing:

pi -e npm:pi-copy-output

Usage

All commands are accessed via /copyout:

Command Description
/copyout Smart picker — lists all copyable blocks from the last response
/copyout all Copy the full conversation
Ctrl+Shift+C Same as /copyout (configurable)

How it works

/copyout opens a picker listing:

  • Full response — the raw markdown
  • Sections — if the response has --- horizontal rules, each section is pickable
  • Code blocks — each fenced block, without the fences
  • Tables — opens a grid dialog (see below)

If the response is plain text with no structure, it copies immediately without a picker.

Table grid

Selecting a table from the picker opens an interactive grid. Arrow through cells, then:

Key Action
enter Copy the highlighted cell value
r Copy the entire row (tab-separated)
c Copy the entire column (newline-separated)
a Copy the full table (raw markdown)
esc Go back to the picker

Cell values are cleaned — no pipes, no padding, no markdown formatting.

Settings

Install @juanibiapina/pi-extension-settings to configure the keyboard shortcut via /extension-settings. It must appear before pi-copy-output in your packages array.

Setting Description Default
Keyboard Shortcut Key combo to open the copy picker ctrl+shift+c

Options: ctrl+shift+c, ctrl+shift+y, ctrl+shift+x, alt+c, alt+shift+c, ctrl+alt+c. Run /reload after changing.

The extension works fine without pi-extension-settings — you just get the default shortcut.

Requirements

  • pi coding agent
  • A clipboard utility (pbcopy on macOS, xclip on Linux, clip on Windows)
