Copy full error context (message, file, line, stack trace) with one command.
Stop manually highlighting and copying error messages. Smart Error Copy intelligently extracts the core error from your editor or terminal and formats it perfectly for sharing in Jira, Slack, or GitHub.

Automatically selects and copies the last relevant error from your terminal output.
Finds best-match errors (SyntaxError, TypeError, ReferenceError, etc.).
Intelligently filters out terminal noise like npm notice, Node.js version logs, and progress indicators.
Extracts the relevant stack trace automatically.
📝 Editor Context Copy
Quickly capture what you're looking at:
Right-click any line in the editor to copy it with full context.
Includes Absolute File Path , Line Number , and Timestamp .
Automatically uses your current selection if you have one.

2. From the Terminal
