claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] Option to disable Up/Down arrow input history recall in VS Code extension

TL;DR

Implement a new VS Code extension setting to control the Up/Down arrow key behavior for input history recall.

Guidance

• Introduce a boolean setting claudeCode.inputHistoryNavigation to toggle the history recall feature on/off.
• Update the input handling logic to respect the new setting and only move the cursor within the text when the setting is disabled.
• Consider adding a default value for the setting to maintain the current behavior for existing users.
• Verify the fix by testing the Up/Down arrow key behavior with the setting enabled and disabled.

Example

// Example setting registration
const claudeCodeSettings = {
  'claudeCode.inputHistoryNavigation': {
    type: 'boolean',
    default: true,
    description: 'Enable input history recall on Up/Down arrow keys'
  }
};

// Example input handling logic update
if (claudeCodeSettings['claudeCode.inputHistoryNavigation']) {
  // Recall input history on Up/Down arrow keys
} else {
  // Move cursor within text on Up/Down arrow keys
}

Notes

The proposed solution requires updates to the VS Code extension's settings and input handling logic. The example code snippet is a simplified illustration and may need to be adapted to the actual implementation.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by implementing the proposed claudeCode.inputHistoryNavigation setting, as it provides a flexible solution for users to control the Up/Down arrow key behavior.
