claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature Request] Add per-message timestamp display option to session history [1 participants]

TL;DR

Add a "showMessageTimestamps" setting with a default value of false to display per-message timestamps in the session history.

Guidance

• Review the existing code for handling session history display to determine the best location to add the "showMessageTimestamps" setting.
• Update the display logic to include message timestamps when the "showMessageTimestamps" setting is true, using the data from ~/.claude/projects/*.jsonl.
• Consider adding a UI element to allow users to toggle the "showMessageTimestamps" setting.
• Verify that the timestamps are displayed correctly and do not interfere with existing functionality.

Example

{
  "showMessageTimestamps": true
}

This example shows the proposed setting, but the actual implementation will depend on the existing code structure.

Notes

The implementation details may vary depending on the specific requirements and constraints of the VS Code extension and CLI.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Add the "showMessageTimestamps" setting and update the display logic to include message timestamps, as this will provide the desired functionality without requiring a version upgrade.
