Copy deterministic file paths with line numbers from the active VS Code editor in one keypress.
What it does
Copy File Path with Line Numbers (AI Prompt) is a focused developer utility for producing a clean path:line or path:start-end reference in one step. It is especially helpful for AI prompting, while staying useful for code reviews, bug reports, and personal notes.
It always produces POSIX-style slash paths with normalized path:line or path:start-end output for the active saved local file.
Absolute command: /full/path/to/file.ts:42

Supported editor state
Saved local text files
This extension only supports saved local files. Unsupported states fail clearly with No saved local text file is active instead of copying something ambiguous.
