What
Plugins can ask Claude Code to copy text to the clipboard. Before, when Claude Code was not showing its interface in a terminal, the copy did nothing and a note said there was no clipboard path. Now the text is passed to a connected client app that says it supports copying, as long as the text is within a size limit. If no client accepts it, nothing is copied.
Plugins also gain three prompt actions that work through connected clients:
- reading what is in the prompt
- filling in the prompt
- proposing text for the prompt
Why
Copy buttons in plugins can now work when you use Claude Code through another app, such as desktop or web, rather than only in a terminal.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt
It is not clear which client apps support these copy and prompt actions.
