claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature request: Cancel/interrupt button for Remote Control (mobile) [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing a "Cancel / Stop" button in the Remote Control UI to send an interrupt signal could resolve the issue of not being able to cancel or interrupt a running tool on mobile browsers.

Guidance

• Investigate the feasibility of adding a "Cancel / Stop" button to the Remote Control UI that sends an interrupt signal equivalent to Ctrl+C.
• Consider implementing a timeout mechanism for tools like WebFetch to prevent them from hanging indefinitely.
• Explore using existing hooks (e.g., PreToolUse) to block or limit the execution of known problematic tools.
• Evaluate the use of curl --max-time or timeout wrappers as a temporary workaround for tools without built-in timeout mechanisms.

Example

No explicit code example is provided due to the lack of specific technical details about the implementation of the Remote Control UI or the tools in question.

Notes

The proposed solution and current workarounds suggest that the issue is specific to the mobile browser interface and the lack of a direct interrupt mechanism. The effectiveness of the "Cancel / Stop" button would depend on the underlying architecture and how signals are handled in the Remote Control mode.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a "Cancel / Stop" button or a timeout mechanism seems to be the most direct approach to addressing the issue, given the current limitations of the mobile browser interface.
