Fast Code - Copy & Share Code

Copy file contents, pinned tabs, or entire workspaces as markdown-formatted text — ready to paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any LLM. Includes token counting and .copyignore support.

Features

Copy File Contents

Right-click any file or folder in the Explorer or editor tab bar and select Copy File Contents. The output is formatted as markdown with syntax highlighting:

--- src/index.ts ---
```typescript
console.log("hello");
```

• Select multiple files/folders at once
• Directories are expanded recursively
• Binary files are automatically detected and skipped

Copy Pinned Tab Contents

Run Copy Tabbed File Contents from the editor tab context menu to copy the contents of all pinned tabs in the active tab group. Pin the files you care about, then copy them in one click.

Copy Workspace Contents

Run Copy Workspace Contents from the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) to copy your entire workspace as a single markdown document.

• Respects .copyignore rules (.gitignore syntax)
• Optionally includes an ASCII file/folder tree at the top (@include-tree flag)
• Choose between file mode (writes code.md to workspace root, auto-added to .gitignore) or clipboard mode

Token Counting

Every copy operation shows an estimated token count in the notification, powered by tokenx. This helps you stay within LLM context limits before pasting.

.copyignore

Control which files are included in workspace copies. Works exactly like .gitignore:

# Special flags
@include-tree        # Include file tree in workspace copy

# Ignore patterns
node_modules/
dist/
*.png
.env

• A default .copyignore is auto-generated from your .gitignore on first workspace copy
• Create a global ~/.copyignore template via the CopyFiles: Create/Edit Global .copyignore command — its patterns are merged into every workspace

Cursor IDE Integration (opt-in)
