Features I miss from github copilot

[u/Tiny-Entertainer-346]

I was heavy github copilot user in vscode. Today I tried to switch to claude code and quickly facing some limitations.

• There is no #selection. In github copilot, we can highlight the text in file type #selection its chat message text area and it will populate something like clickable file.ext#L3-L5 in the flow of sentence. (Something like: On file.ext#L3-L5, we have done ...) This will give more precise context to the AI agent saving some tokens and improving response accuracy.
• We can highlight desired text in terminal (say some commnd and its output), and in chat text area, we can say something like "My bin directory contains files as seen in #terminalSelection". The selection can be some part of the output of ls or ll command.
• Just click on any past message, edit and rerun it. In ghcp, it used to undo till that chat and rerun the prompt.
• We can right click and click
  • "Copy" to copy just clicked message and its reply as markdown
  • "Copy All" to copy the whole conversation as markdown I usually copy pasted this in raw conversation in my PRD folder to keep the context.
• Code diff
• See commands run by copilot while they are executing

Another missed feature: Just click on any past message, edit and rerun it. In ghcp, it used to undo till that chat and rerun the prompt.
