I got tired of manually copying and pasting code when asking ChatGPT/Claude for help, so I built an extension that right-clicks to copy files/folders as properly formatted Markdown with syntax highlighting.

Select files in Explorer and right-click to copy the code as markdown. It works with tabs (specific tab or all open tabs) and the command palette (active tab or open tabs).

Would love to hear any feedback or feature suggestions. Or just criticism of the code, I want to make this better in any way I can.

There are a bunch of other extensions that do this as well, but they didn't really fit my criteria or were somewhat clunky to use.
