What's Wrong?

When starting Claude Code in a integrated WSL2 terminal via the Claude Code Plugin 0.1.14-beta in PHPStorm 2026.1 by clicking the toolbar button, the IDE is NOT connected automatically and the connection has to be manually established via /ide on every start. This is needed so that the native Diff Viewer (PHPStorm) is used instead of TUI,

What Should Happen?

PHPStorm should be auto-connected when starting Claude Code from the Toolbar Button and using the native PHPStorm Diff Viewer without any further user interaction needed

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start Claude Code via the toolbar button provided by the Plugin
  2. Write a prompt to alter anything
  3. TUI Diff is shown instead of PHPStorm's Diff Viewer
  4. type /ide and select PHPStorm (which for me ist shown twice for whatever reason)
  5. Write a prompt again to change something
  6. Native Diff Viewer opens as expected

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by configuring the Claude Code plugin to automatically establish a connection to PHPStorm on startup.

Guidance

  • Verify that the Claude Code plugin is properly configured to connect to PHPStorm by checking the plugin settings in PHPStorm.
  • Check if there are any available updates for the Claude Code plugin, as the current version (0.1.14-beta) may have a bug that prevents automatic connection.
  • Try modifying the startup command for Claude Code to include the /ide option, which may force the connection to PHPStorm.
  • Investigate why the PHPStorm option is shown twice when typing /ide, as this may be related to the connection issue.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the WSL2 terminal or the Claude Code plugin, and further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: modify the startup command for Claude Code to include the /ide option, as this may temporarily resolve the issue until a permanent fix is available.
