claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Add toggle to hide extended thinking blocks in VS Code extension [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Adding a setting to toggle the display of thinking blocks in the VS Code extension could help reduce visual noise.

Guidance

• Introduce a new setting, such as claude.showThinking, to control the visibility of thinking blocks.
• Consider adding a default value for the setting to minimize disruption for existing users.
• Evaluate the feasibility of replacing extended thinking blocks with a simpler indicator, like a spinner or "thinking..." text, when the setting is disabled.
• Review the extension's UI to ensure that the new setting is easily accessible and configurable.

Example

// example configuration
{
  "claude.showThinking": false
}

Notes

The implementation details may vary depending on the extension's architecture and the desired user experience.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Add the requested setting to provide users with control over the display of thinking blocks, as this addresses the core issue of visual noise.
