claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature request: Enable Terminal panel in remote/SSH sessions (desktop app) [1 participants]

Summary

The Terminal panel in the Claude Code desktop app is disabled in remote sessions with the tooltip "로컬 세션에서만 사용 가능합니다" ("Only available in local sessions"). Requesting that the Terminal panel also be usable when connected to a remote host (SSH / dev container / WSL).

Motivation

Many development workflows run entirely on a remote dev server via SSH:

• Large monorepos, HDL/EDA toolchains, GPU machines, corp-policy servers
• Local machine is only a thin client

In these setups the embedded Terminal panel is arguably more useful than on local, since the user is already operating against a remote filesystem. Today they must keep a separate SSH terminal app open alongside the Claude Code desktop app.

Current behavior

• Connected via remote/SSH to a Linux host (CentOS 7 in my case)
• In the desktop app sidebar, the Terminal item is greyed out
• Hover shows: "로컬 세션에서만 사용 가능합니다" / "Only available in local sessions"
• "미리보기", "작업", "계획" tabs remain usable

Requested behavior

Allow the Terminal panel to attach to the remote shell (the same shell that Bash tool calls execute in), so users can interact with the remote environment without leaving the app.

Notes

• If there is a security rationale (e.g. TTY piping over the transport), an opt-in setting or per-workspace toggle would be acceptable.
• Related: the `/skills` command is also unavailable in some remote modes — there may be a shared "remote-gated features" list worth reviewing together.

Environment

• Claude Code desktop app (latest)
• Remote host: Linux (CentOS 7), connected via SSH
