[DOCS] Interactive mode `/copy` command docs omit code-block picker behavior

Documentation Type

Incorrect/outdated documentation

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode

Section/Topic

Built-in slash commands table (/copy row)

Current Documentation

The docs currently say:

\| /copy \| Copy the last assistant response to clipboard \|

What's Wrong or Missing?

Claude Code v2.1.59 changed /copy behavior: when code blocks are present, /copy now opens an interactive picker so users can copy a specific code block or the full response.

The current docs only describe copying the last response directly and do not mention the picker flow or block-level selection behavior.

Suggested Improvement

Update the /copy command description to reflect both behaviors:

Before:

Copy the last assistant response to clipboard

After:

Copies content to clipboard. If the latest response contains code blocks, opens an interactive picker to copy either a selected code block or the full response.

Optionally add a short note under slash command usage describing when the picker appears.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
