claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE]Don't trigger system notifications when the Claude Code session is already visible on screen [1 participants]

TL;DR

Implement a visibility check to suppress system notifications when the relevant Claude Code session window is already visible and in focus.

Guidance

• Check the current implementation of system notifications in Claude Code to identify where the visibility of the session window is not being considered.
• Modify the notification trigger logic to include a check for the session window's visibility and focus state before displaying the notification.
• Consider using existing OS-level APIs or window management functions to determine the visibility and focus state of the session window.
• Test the modified notification logic with multiple parallel sessions to ensure it behaves as expected in different scenarios.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without knowing the implementation details of Claude Code, but the general approach would involve adding a conditional check before triggering the system notification, such as if (sessionWindowIsVisible() && sessionWindowHasFocus()) { // do not show notification }.

Notes

The exact implementation details may vary depending on the programming language, framework, and operating system used by Claude Code. This guidance assumes that such APIs or functions are available and can be leveraged to achieve the desired behavior.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the proposed solution of checking the session window's visibility before triggering system notifications, as it directly addresses the reported issue and improves the user experience without introducing significant complexity.
