[DOCS] Commands page missing `/copy N` and tmux copy guidance
Documentation Type
Missing documentation (feature not documented)
Documentation Location
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/commands
Section/Topic
/copy
Current Documentation
The docs currently say:
/copy | Copy the last assistant response to clipboard. When code blocks are present, shows an interactive picker to select individual blocks or the full response
This does not mention copying older assistant responses with /copy N, and it does not explain tmux-specific clipboard/paste behavior.
What's Wrong or Missing?
Claude Code v2.1.77 added an optional index so /copy N copies the Nth-latest assistant response.
The same release also updated tmux copy UX so users are told whether to paste with ⌘V or tmux prefix+]. The command reference still documents only the latest-response flow, so /copy is under-specified for both history indexing and tmux sessions.
Suggested Improvement
Expand the /copy command reference with syntax and examples.
Suggested coverage:
/copycopies the latest assistant response/copy 3copies the 3rd-latest assistant response- how the picker behaves when code blocks are present
- a note that tmux sessions may use tmux paste instead of the system paste shortcut
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
