What does "all visible tabs" mean in the context of Claude Code in a terminal window? Are you saying it's reading other terminals open on the system? Also how do you determine "currently active file"? It just greps files as needed.





You can install VSCode extension and use "/ide" to connect them.

Do people actually use this mode? Having to approve diffs in the ide is too annoying.

Depends on my task. If it’s complex and my expectation is for Claude to get things wrong the diff preview is helpful.

Even then, I'd wait until it's had a chance to iterate and correct itself in a loop before I'd even consider looking at the output, or I end up babysitting it to prevent it from making mistakes it'd often recognise and fix itself if given the chance.

True. I’ve been strictly in the terminal for weeks and I have a stop hook which commits each iteration after successful rust compilation and frontend typechecks, then I have a small command line tool to quickly review last commit. It’s a pretty good flow!

You can tell it not to do that and it will show inline diffs.
