What's Wrong?

Ask Claude Code to provide a code example.

Select the example.

Copy it.

The code is completely broken, the formatting is nonsense.

This is extremely frustrating.

What Should Happen?

I don't know, maybe make an interface that actually works?

How hard can it be to make a TUI that outputs text in a way that allows easy copy/paste?

People were doing this decades ago. Suddenly, this appears hard to do. ROTFL
