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

- User wants to paste this image into another app (Slack, Notes, etc.)

Environment:
- macOS Terminal
- Claude Code CLI
