claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] VS Code Extension - Current prompt & file visibility do not persist session switches [1 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by preserving the draft prompt and "showing Claude your current file selection" toggle state when switching sessions in the VS Code extension.

Guidance

• Verify that the current implementation of session switching in the VS Code extension properly handles and preserves the state of draft prompts and user preferences.
• Investigate the possibility of using a session-specific storage mechanism to retain the draft prompt and toggle state.
• Consider adding a feature to automatically restore the previous session's state, including draft prompts and user preferences, when switching back to that session.
• Review the extension's code to ensure that it correctly handles the persistence of user preferences, such as the "showing Claude your current file selection" toggle.

Example

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

Notes

The solution may require modifications to the VS Code extension's code to properly handle session switching and state persistence. The exact implementation details will depend on the extension's architecture and the Anthropic API.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround to preserve the draft prompt and toggle state when switching sessions, as the root cause of the issue is likely related to the extension's implementation of session switching.
