What probably matters to you Section of the release
What
The /copy picker, which lets you choose a code block or the whole response to copy, uses a new list and now behaves differently when screen-reader mode is on:
The hint for pressing Enter to copy is not shown.
Pressing w writes the full response to a file.
With screen-reader mode off, w still writes whichever item is selected. The list of slash commands also shows as a plain column in screen-reader mode instead of a scrolling selector.
Why
These lists are easier to follow with a screen reader, which is software that reads the screen aloud.
How sure we are
Something disagrees Something we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.

Names in this entry
slash /copy Copy the last assistant response to clipboard. Pass a number N to copy the Nth-latest response: /copy 2 copies the second-to-last. When code blocks are present, shows an interactive picker to select individual blocks or the full response. Press w in the picker to write the selection to a file instead of the clipboard, which is useful over SSH
Anthropic's note
Upstream's own release notes for v2.1.283 name something this entry names, so the two are probably about the same change. Probably: the pairing is made on a shared name rather than on the words around it.
Improved lists in /help , /hooks , /copy , /chrome , /memory , /ide , /release-notes , /rewind , /diff , /remote-env, /plugin and other pickers with page keys, mouse wheel and clicks
