claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix New Window option removed in desktop app — regression [1 participants]

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to revert to a previous version of the Claude Code desktop app that supported the New Window option or wait for an update that reinstates this feature.

Guidance

• Verify the change in behavior by checking the release notes for v1.1617.0 to see if the removal of the New Window option was intentional.
• Check if there are any alternative keyboard shortcuts or menu options that can be used to achieve similar functionality.
• Consider reaching out to the developers or support team for Claude Code to report the issue and request a fix or workaround.
• If multi-window support is crucial, explore other code editing apps that offer this feature.

Example

No code snippet is provided as this issue appears to be related to a change in application behavior rather than a code-specific problem.

Notes

The removal of the New Window option may be a deliberate design choice, so it's essential to verify the intended behavior with the developers. Additionally, this issue may not be applicable to other versions of the Claude Code app or different operating systems.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the New Window option is no longer available, users may need to find alternative ways to manage multiple sessions, such as using multiple instances of the app or exploring other code editing tools that support multi-window functionality.
