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.\n\nPlugins also gain three prompt actions that work through connected clients:\n\n- reading what is in the prompt\n\n- filling in the prompt\n\n- proposing text for the prompt\n\n**Why**\n\nCopy 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.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
