A VS Code extension for sending file/folder references to the terminal — designed for use with AI tools like Claude Code that accept file:line format as context.
What it does
When you select code and trigger the command, the extension writes a reference like src/extension.ts:10-20 directly into the active terminal — without pressing Enter, so you can append more context before submitting.
It also makes those references clickable in the terminal: any path/file.ext:10-20 pattern becomes a link that opens the file at that line range.
Usage
Send a code selection
Select code in the editor, then:
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R, or - Right-click → Add to Terminal
Outputs: src/extension.ts:10-20
Send a file
Right-click a file in the Explorer or the editor tab → Send File to Terminal
Outputs: src/extension.ts
Send a folder
Right-click a folder in the Explorer → Send Folder to Terminal
Outputs: src/components
Click a reference in the terminal
Any path/file.ext:line pattern printed in the terminal becomes a clickable link — click to jump to that file and line in the editor.
