claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Setting to hide code change diffs in terminal output [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Implement a new setting, such as "hideDiffs" or "outputStyle: minimal", to control the visibility of file edit diffs in the terminal output.

Guidance

• Introduce a new configuration option to toggle the display of file edit diffs, allowing users to choose between showing or hiding them by default.
• Consider adding a toggle or expand/collapse button in the terminal output to allow users to easily switch between showing and hiding diffs.
• When implementing the new setting, ensure that it only affects the display of file edit diffs and does not impact the visibility of other important output, such as bash command output, errors, and status messages.
• Test the new setting with different use cases, including larger tasks with significant code changes, to ensure it provides the desired behavior and reduces visual noise in the terminal.

Example

{
  "hideDiffs": true
}

or

{
  "outputStyle": "minimal"
}

These examples illustrate the proposed setting to suppress inline diff rendering for Edit/Write tool results.

Notes

The implementation details of the new setting will depend on the specific requirements and constraints of the project, and may require additional design and testing to ensure a seamless user experience.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the proposed "hideDiffs" or "outputStyle: minimal" setting to provide users with control over the visibility of file edit diffs in the terminal output. This will allow users to reduce visual noise and focus on the most important information.
