What's Wrong?

copying a single-line command from a code block in the VS Code extension adds a trailing newline, which PowerShell interprets as a continuation prompt

What Should Happen?

Copying a single-line command from a code block should copy only the command text, without a trailing newline, so it executes immediately when pasted into PowerShell without triggering the >> continuation prompt.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code VS Code extension
  2. Ask Claude for a PowerShell command - it responds with a fenced code block containing a single line
  3. Click the copy button on the code block
  4. Paste into a PowerShell terminal (Windows PowerShell 5.1)
  5. The command appears followed by >> on the next line, indicating PowerShell received a trailing newline and is waiting for more input,

6.User must press Enter again to execute
