Copy Path with Line
Copy file paths and code snippets in Claude Code-friendly formats . Designed so you can paste straight into a Claude Code prompt without editing.
Install
Features
Four commands, all defaulting to a @-prefixed format that Claude Code resolves as a file reference.
Command
Default output
Default keybinding (Mac)
Copy Path with Line
@src/file.ts:10-25Shift+Alt+Cmd+L
Copy Path with Line as Markdown
path label + fenced code block
Shift+Alt+Cmd+M
Copy Relative Path
@src/file.tsShift+Alt+Cmd+C
Copy Full Path
@/Users/.../src/file.tsShift+Alt+Cmd+F
Markdown output example
Pressing Shift+Alt+Cmd+M with lines 15–19 selected produces:
@src/extension.ts:15-19
```typescript
if (selection.start.line === selection.end.line) {
result = `${relativePath}:${selection.start.line + 1}`;
} else {
...
}
```
Paste it into Claude Code and the model gets both the file reference and the exact snippet you're talking about.
