Problem Statement

Just like Copilot does, Claude Code for Vscode should allow sending code snippets to the chat quickly from the context menu. It's unacceptable that to send code snippets you have to type the lines every time; for example, if I want to send several snippets from different files, I have to type line by line, and that wastes time.

Proposed Solution

Add Claude code options to the context menu, such as:

  • Add this code snippet
  • Add this file to the chat
  • Add this section
