• Copy location and code together. No manual path lookup or line-number cleanup.
• Keep the selected code unchanged. The extension adds only the location header and separator.
• Use workspace-relative paths. Paths stay compact and portable between machines.
• Works with multiple selections. Each non-empty selection gets its own location header.
