Install

# From npm
pi install npm:pi-copy-output

# From git
pi install git:github.com/jal-co/pi-copy-output

Or try without installing:

pi -e npm:pi-copy-output

Usage

All commands are accessed via /copy:

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | /copy | Smart picker — lists all copyable blocks from the last response | | /copy all | Copy the full conversation | | Ctrl+Shift+C | Same as /copy (configurable) |

How it works

/copy opens a picker listing:

• Full response — the raw markdown
• Sections — if the response has --- horizontal rules, each section is pickable
• Code blocks — each fenced block, without the fences
• Tables — opens a grid dialog (see below)

If the response is plain text with no structure, it copies immediately without a picker.

Table grid

Selecting a table from the picker opens an interactive grid. Arrow through cells, then:

| Key | Action | |-----|--------| | enter | Copy the highlighted cell value | | r | Copy the entire row (tab-separated) | | c | Copy the entire column (newline-separated) | | a | Copy the full table (raw markdown) | | esc | Go back to the picker |

Cell values are cleaned — no pipes, no padding, no markdown formatting.

Settings

Install @juanibiapina/pi-extension-settings to configure the keyboard shortcut via /extension-settings. It must appear before pi-copy-output in your packages array.

| Setting | Description | Default | |---------|-------------|---------| | Keyboard Shortcut | Key combo to open the copy picker | ctrl+shift+c |

Options: ctrl+shift+c, ctrl+shift+y, ctrl+shift+x, alt+c, alt+shift+c, ctrl+alt+c. Run /reload after changing.

The extension works fine without pi-extension-settings — you just get the default shortcut.

Requirements

• pi coding agent
• A clipboard utility (pbcopy on macOS, xclip on Linux, clip on Windows)
