ContextCopy

Copy code snippets with file path and line numbers — ready to paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any code review.

Features

Copy from Editor

Two commands available via the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P):

Copy Code Context — plain format, great for inline references:

// src/utils/parser.ts:42-48

const result = parse(input);

Copy Markdown Context — fenced code block with language, great for AI chats and GitHub:

File: src/utils/parser.ts
Lines: 42-48

```typescript
const result = parse(input);
```

Both commands work with or without a selection — if nothing is selected, the current line is copied.

Copy Multiple Files from Explorer

Right-click any file (or multi-select with Cmd+Click) in the Explorer panel → ContextCopy submenu:

Copy File(s) — plain format, one file per section:

// src/utils/parser.ts

<full file contents>

---

// src/utils/lexer.ts

<full file contents>

Copy File(s) as Markdown — fenced blocks with language tags, ideal for AI context:

File: src/utils/parser.ts

```typescript
<full file contents>
```

---

File: src/utils/lexer.ts

```typescript
<full file contents>
```
