Original project appears unmaintained: this fork adds a few features.

Code Block Copier ✂️

A VS Code extension that lets you copy code blocks with line numbers, file paths, and preserved formatting — perfect for sharing snippets in documentation, chats, or pull requests.

🚀 Features

• 🔢 Adds line Numbers
• 📄 File Path – Relative or otherwise absolute path
• ✂️ Smart Selection – If no text is selected, copies the entire file
• ➕ Append Mode – Add another code block to the clipboard instead of overwriting

⚙️ Installation

1. Open VS Code
2. Go to Extensions View (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)
3. Search for “Code Block Copier”
4. Click Install

🪄 Usage

1. Select the code you want to copy
2. Press F1 and select:
   • ✏️ "Code Block Copier: Copy Code Block"
   • ➕ "Code Block Copier: Copy Code Block (Append)"
3. Paste anywhere you need it

🧩 Example Output

path: src/example/file.ts
1: function greet(name: string): string {
2:     return `Hello, ${name}!`;
3: }
4:
5: console.log(greet("World"));

If you append another block, your clipboard will look like:

path: src/another/file.ts
1: export const sum = (a: number, b: number) => a + b;

path: src/example/file.ts
1: function greet(name: string): string {
2:     return `Hello, ${name}!`;
3: }
4:
5: console.log(greet("World"));
