Problem Statement

When Claude Code is run in an iTerm2 window, it sometimes needs to emit long lines that the user can copy and paste into another terminal window. Even if specifically asked, it does not currently know how to do so. I am doing this on a Mac and do not know if the same problem occurs on other platforms.

Proposed Solution

Give Claude Code the capability of emitting long (unbroken) lines when asked, that can be copied.

Use Case Example

Any time Claude is asked to emit a command that the user would type in another window, where that command is long. Here is a stupid example:

Please exhibit a shell command that echoes the prime numbers < 500.  
Include the numbers in the command.  
Make this command copyable so it can be directly pasted into another iTerm2 window.

On a window of width 100 characters, it can't do it.
