WhereAmI
Copies the file path + line number to your clipboard instead of the code itself. Relative or absolute.
Built this because I kept manually typing out file references when talking to AI coding agents. Now it's just a right-click or a shortcut.
What it does
src/utils/helper.ts:42 - relative path/Users/you/project/src/utils/helper.ts:42 - absolute pathsrc/utils/helper.ts:42-58 - select multiple lines, get a range- Multi-cursor gives you one line per cursor
How to use it
Right-click in the editor and you'll see a WhereAmI submenu with both options.
Or hit Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P and search for:
