Productivity

A coworker dropped /copy in our work Slack yesterday and I had to try it immediately. It’s a Claude Code slash command that copies Claude’s last response straight to your clipboard as markdown. Before finding this, my workflow for grabbing a generated code snippet or shell command was embarrassingly manual — select text in the terminal, hope I got the boundaries right, paste it somewhere. Now I just type: /copy And the whole response lands in my clipboard, formatting intact — including code blocks. This is especially useful when Claude generates something multi-part, like a function plus its tests or a sequence of shell commands, where careful selection across scroll boundaries used to be the only option.

At one of the Toronto Perl Mongers meetings Olaf was demonstrating something or other and during the demonstration he used Alfred to search metacpan. I’ve been a LaunchBar user for a long time, but the Alfred plugin offered auto completion, something my LaunchBar search didn’t have. He proceeded to show a couple of the other plugins (which I don’t recall at this point) and I decided I needed to try it out too.
