CopyFileLine

CopyFileLine is a lightweight Godot 4.5.1+ editor plugin designed to make sharing code, reporting bugs, and documenting workflows faster and easier.

No more manual entry of file paths and line numbers. With one click or keystroke, instantly copy references like res://path/to/file.gd:42 or /absolute/path/to/file.gd:42. Perfect for sharing snippets, reporting issues, or linking specific lines in conversations and documentation.
