README

pi-copy-response

npm version npm downloads

A Pi package that copies the latest assistant response with a code-block picker, live preview, and optional built-in /copy override.

Quick install

pi install npm:pi-copy-response

Adds a Pi slash command:

  • /copy-response

It also supports subcommands:

  • /copy-response apply
  • /copy-response restore
  • /copy-response status

It copies the latest assistant response.

If that response contains fenced code blocks, /copy-response opens a picker with:

  • Full response
  • one entry per fenced code block

The picker includes a live preview of the currently highlighted item, so you can see exactly what will be copied before pressing Enter.

If the latest assistant response has no fenced code blocks, /copy-response copies the full response immediately.

Install

Package links:

Local path

pi install /absolute/path/to/pi-copy-response

npm

pi install npm:pi-copy-response

git

pi install git:github.com/cadenzadesigns/pi-copy-response

Standard usage

In Pi, run:

/copy-response

This copies the latest assistant response, with a picker if fenced code blocks are present.

Optional override management

If you personally want Pi's built-in /copy command to use the same picker and live preview as /copy-response, use the built-in override subcommands.

Apply the override:

/copy-response apply

Check override status:

/copy-response status

Restore original built-in /copy:

/copy-response restore

After applying or restoring, fully restart Pi.

After restart:

  • /copy uses the enhanced picker if applied
  • /copy returns to stock behavior if restored
  • /copy-response always remains available

Why the override is optional

Current Pi versions handle built-in interactive commands before extension commands, so a package cannot cleanly replace the exact built-in /copy command through standard extension registration alone.

Because of that, this package offers two modes:

  1. Normal package mode

    • use /copy-response
    • no patching
    • best for shared/package use

  2. Personal override mode

    • run /copy-response apply
    • patches your installed Pi locally so /copy uses the same behavior
    • best if you want the enhanced UX on your own machine

Behavior

  • no fenced code blocks: copies full latest assistant response immediately
  • fenced code blocks present: opens a picker with live preview
  • in non-UI contexts: copies the full response

Notes

  • The preview is wrapped for display, but the clipboard gets the raw content.
  • Clipboard support uses the system clipboard when available and falls back to OSC 52 terminal clipboard support when possible.
  • The optional /copy override modifies your local Pi install and may need to be re-applied after Pi upgrades.
