claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature request: customizable spinner/thinking words [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Allow users to customize spinner words by adding a spinnerWords array to the settings.json file and implementing a fallback to the current hardcoded list.

Guidance

• Review the existing statusLine customization implementation to understand how to integrate the new spinnerWords array.
• Update the code to read the spinnerWords array from settings.json and use its values to display customized spinner words.
• Implement a fallback mechanism to use the current hardcoded list when the spinnerWords array is empty or absent.
• Consider adding validation to ensure the spinnerWords array contains at least one string value.

Example

// example settings.json with custom spinner words
{
  "spinnerWords": ["Loading...", "Thinking...", "Processing..."]
}

Notes

The proposed solution assumes that the settings.json file is already being read and parsed by the application. If this is not the case, additional code changes may be required to load and process the settings.json file.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by implementing the proposed solution, as it provides a flexible and user-friendly way to customize the spinner words, aligning with the existing statusLine customization feature.
