📚 Description

In the dev TUI you can only copy one row at a time, so there is no quick way to hand the errors to an agent or to paste the project info in an issue.

shift-y now copies everything the open view is showing, with its filters and search applied. In the logs, e then Y gives you all the errors. It keeps the newest entries when there is too much to paste (60k chars) and the notice says how many were copied. It works the same in the requests, request trace and routes views since it lives in ScreenOverlay.

In the info view, Y copies the markdown table nuxt info produces instead of the rows, which are URLs, uptime and a QR code. For that the collection part of the info command moved into an exported collectProjectInfo(cwd), the diff in info.ts is a pure move and reads best with whitespace hidden. It's imported on demand since it evaluates the project's config.

The copy hints were also inconsistent: logs and routes said enter, requests said y since enter opens the trace there, and info said nothing. Every view now shows y copy and Y copy all. enter still copies where it did.

I checked it in a real terminal against the playground on macOS, both the logs and the info table land on the clipboard.

Install footprint and published tarball

Each version installed on its own into an empty project with nothing but @nuxt/cli as a dependency, so the tree is exactly the CLI and its transitive dependencies. npm cache is warm and the registry is only consulted for metadata, so install wall time is indicative, not a network benchmark.

Interleaved runs on a shared runner: trust the deltas, not the absolute timings. The dev, restart and build suites run locally via pnpm bench:cli.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The TUI now uses y for selected-entry copying and Y for whole-view copying. Whole-view output keeps the newest entries within 60,000 characters. InfoOverlay can copy a generated nuxt info table through a deferred project-information callback. The nuxt info collection logic is exported for reuse. Tests cover filtering, truncation, empty views, successful reports, and report failures. Documentation describes the new controls.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 260aa

Large project reports can bypass the 60,000-character copy limit. Apply the shared limit before merging to keep whole-view copying bounded as documented.
