Add keyboard shortcut to copy inline response to clipboard cleanly
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Apr 29, 2026 by ankuryadaviimb Closed May 31, 2026
Problem
When using Claude Code in Cursor, copying inline responses to external destinations (Google Sheets, Microsoft Word, Slack, etc.) results in:
- Extra newline characters
- Improperly indented text
- Broken formatting from markdown rendering
This makes it difficult to use Claude Code output in day-to-day workflows where you need to share content externally.
Requested Feature
A keyboard shortcut (e.g., Cmd+Shift+C) to copy the last response (or selected response) to clipboard as clean plain text, stripping markdown rendering artifacts.
Current Workarounds
- Ask Claude to write content to a file, then copy from there (too many steps for short content)
- Ask Claude to run
pbcopy(adds an extra conversational step) - Use the copy button on code blocks (only works for code blocks, not inline text)
None of these are ideal for quick, frequent copy-paste workflows.
Environment
- Claude Code in Cursor IDE (macOS)
