Copilot CLI 1.0.27: Pro Trial UX & /ask Command

TL;DR

  • New /ask command for quick questions without cluttering conversation history
  • Better error messaging when Copilot Pro trial is paused
  • Status bar now shows @files, #issues, and /help hints contextually
  • WSL clipboard copy no longer adds invisible BOM characters

New

  • /ask command — Ask a quick question without adding it to your conversation history, keeping your chat thread clean
  • Status bar hints — @files and #issues hints appear while typing; /help hint shows when the slash command picker is open
  • Plugin marketplace update command — Run copilot plugin marketplace update to refresh plugin catalogs on demand

Fixed

  • WSL clipboard BOM leak — Clipboard copy on Windows Subsystem for Linux no longer injects invisible BOM characters into pasted text
  • Pro trial pause messaging — Shows a clear message when your Copilot Pro trial is paused instead of a generic policy error

Update with: npm install -g @github/copilot-cli@latest
