Improvement to code snippet input

Leward

When it comes to working with code snippets there is something that Claude does and would love to see implemented in the assistant:

using backtick will show a code block with syntax highlighting in the input
copying a large code snippet gets added as an attachment reducing clutter

It's the little details but it makes writing prompt with large-ish code snippet so much nicer.

Coops

On Claude, when pasting code from an IDE which has some type of rich formatting, it automatically formats it as code. This enables syntax highlighting, clear visual separation, as well as logical separation for the assistant (being clearly separate code chunks).

It also takes care to prevent any formatting issues that may arise with pasting plain text code, e.x. with backticks.

The way I work mostly with the assistant, is to paste a file or two from my IDE of choice (usually a JetBrains product). As of now: it is simply formats as a large blob of plain text, which is not very easy to read. This feature brings both code syntax highlighting, as well as the clear separation of files as different chunks of code.
