claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Audio/visual alert when permission prompt is waiting for input (accessibility) [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Implement a system-level audio notification and optionally a desktop notification when a permission prompt is displayed and waiting for input in Claude Code.

Guidance

• Investigate using platform-specific APIs to play a system sound when a permission prompt is displayed, such as afplay on macOS or aplay on Linux.
• Consider using a cross-platform library to send desktop notifications, such as plyer or pynotifier, to ensure compatibility across different operating systems.
• Evaluate the feasibility of integrating with existing accessibility features, such as screen readers or notification systems, to provide a more comprehensive solution.
• Research potential security implications of playing sounds or displaying notifications, especially if the permission prompt contains sensitive information.

Example

No code example is provided due to the lack of specific technical details in the issue.

Notes

The solution should be designed to work across different terminal emulators and operating systems to ensure a native and consistent experience for all users.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by implementing a system-level audio notification and optionally a desktop notification, as this addresses the immediate need for a more accessible and attention-grabbing prompt.
