Copy Lines for AI

Quickly copy selected code with its file path + line range. Perfect for pasting into AI chat windows (Claude, ChatGPT, Antigravity, Cursor, etc).

Features

Relative Paths: Automatically uses paths relative to your workspace root.
Full Paths: Option to copy the absolute system path.
Line Ranges: Includes current line number or range (e.g., line10 or line10-15).
Markdown Formatting: Wraps code in triple backticks with automatic language detection.
Forward Slash Consistency: Always uses / in paths for better cross-platform/AI compatibility.
