Prompt Block Copy

Copy prompt code blocks in Obsidian with a single click.

Prompt Block Copy adds a dedicated copy button to fenced prompt-style code blocks so their contents can be copied without selecting the text or activating the editor.

Features

• Adds a Copy prompt button to supported fenced code blocks.
• Copies the complete code-block contents to the clipboard with one click.
• Shows a short Copied ✓ confirmation after a successful copy.
• Prevents the copy action from switching the code block into edit mode.
• Uses Obsidian theme variables for light and dark mode.
• Replaces the existing code-block copy button with a dedicated Copy prompt button for supported prompt blocks.

Supported code blocks

The plugin currently recognizes fenced code blocks with these language identifiers:

```text
Your prompt here
```

```txt
Your prompt here
```

```prompt
Your prompt here
```
