What feature would you like to see?

Copying to the clipboard from the terminal requires cleanup.
Asking it to pipe to pbcopy is an extra step and wasted tokens.

This feature request has received only one upvote and no posts in over two months, so I'm going to close it.

Please re-open it.

I sometimes want to change model before prompting. However, I use vim bindings a lot - for the n-th time, I have just done the below:

hit Escape, then Shift+I.
notice that my bindings don't work. Backspace to undo.
hit ctrl+a to copy all text. effect as I did Shift+I. also not what I wanted.
Fn+right arrow to get back to end
copy with mouse
worry whether clipboard will work correctly when mouse-copying from terminal
wonder whether i should copy with ctlr+c or ctrl+shift+c
always hit ctrl+c which removes everything
then hit ctrl+z to undo
my process gets backgrounded..................
hit fg to resume
arrow-up to restore

Also note that we recently added a /copy slash command.

/copy is quite nice indeed!
