Problem Statement

When Claude Code displays images in the terminal using Sixel/Kitty/iTerm2 protocols, users cannot copy these images to
the clipboard using Cmd+C. The current behavior only copies text descriptions, not the actual image data.

Proposed Solution

  1. Add a slash command like /copy-image when an image is displayed
  2. Add a keyboard shortcut (e.g., Cmd+Shift+C) to copy the last displayed image
  3. Add an "Copy to Clipboard" button/option when displaying images

Alternative Solutions

  • User wants to paste this image into another app (Slack, Notes, etc.)
  • Currently, they must take a screenshot or ask Claude to save the file

Environment:

  • macOS Terminal
