Root Cause

It's difficult to highlight and copy specific filenames or paths because the browser/UI treats them as interactive elements.

Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

When using Claude Code on the web, filenames, paths, and certain identifiers are automatically converted into clickable links. While this might be intended as a convenience feature, it often interferes with the developer's workflow.

It's difficult to highlight and copy specific filenames or paths because the browser/UI treats them as interactive elements.

Proposed Solution

Provide a setting to disable automatic linking entirely.

TL;DR

Disable automatic linking of filenames, paths, and identifiers to prevent interference with the developer's workflow.

Guidance

  • Investigate the existing codebase for the linking feature to understand its implementation and potential toggle points.
  • Consider adding a user preference or setting to control the automatic linking behavior, allowing developers to opt-out when needed.
  • Evaluate the impact of disabling linking on other features or workflows that may rely on this functionality.
  • Assess the feasibility of introducing a temporary workaround, such as a browser extension or user script, to disable linking until a native solution is implemented.

Notes

The proposed solution requires modifications to the existing codebase, and its implementation may depend on the specific technologies and frameworks used by Claude Code.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Introduce a user-controlled setting to disable automatic linking, as this addresses the core issue and provides flexibility for developers to choose their preferred workflow.
