[DOCS] `/btw` docs omit the `c` shortcut for copying the raw markdown answer
Documentation Type
Missing documentation (feature not documented)
Documentation Location
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode#side-questions-with-%2Fbtw
Section/Topic
Side questions with /btw, specifically the overlay key table and the text explaining what you can do once a /btw answer appears
Current Documentation
The docs currently say:
Once the answer appears, the overlay accepts these keys. Earlier side questions from the same session appear as a dimmed list above the current answer; they stay out of the conversation history but remain visible in the overlay until you clear them. |Space,Enter,Escape| Dismiss the answer and return to the prompt | |Up/Down| Scroll the answer | |f| Fork into a new session. The fork inherits the parent conversation plus this question and answer as real transcript turns, so you can continue with full tool access. The original session is preserved under/resume. Available in local sessions only | |x| Clear the list of earlier/btwexchanges shown above the current answer |
What's Wrong or Missing?
The /btw docs list dismiss, scroll, fork, and clear-history actions, but they do not document the new c shortcut added in v2.1.163.
According to the v2.1.163 release notes, /btw now supports:
Added acto copy shortcut to/btwthat copies the raw markdown answer to the clipboard, preserving formatting when pasted elsewhere
That user-visible behavior is missing from the live docs, so readers cannot discover that a /btw answer can be copied directly from the overlay or understand that the copied content is the raw markdown form intended to preserve formatting when pasted into other tools.
Suggested Improvement
Add the c shortcut to the /btw key table and explain what gets copied.
Suggested row:
| c | Copy the raw markdown answer to the clipboard so formatting is preserved when you paste it elsewhere |
It would also help to add one sentence above or below the table clarifying that this copies the answer's raw markdown representation rather than the rendered overlay text.
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
