Problem Statement

Would love to see official Microsoft Visual Studio (the full IDE, not VS Code) extension support for Claude Code.

Currently .NET and C++ developers have limited options:

  • Developer PowerShell in VS: Shift+Enter doesn't work, /terminal-setup fails. Only backslash+Enter works.
  • External Windows Terminal: Works, but opens in a separate window and breaks the in-IDE workflow.
  • Community extension (dliedke/ClaudeCodeExtension): Appreciated, but it's a CLI wrapper rather than a native integration — no inline diffs, no @-mention with line ranges, no plan review, no checkpoint/rewind. Maintained by a single developer, so feature parity and long-term support aren't guaranteed.

The .NET ecosystem is large and Visual Studio-centric. An official VSIX with feature parity to the VS Code extension would make Claude Code a daily driver for many currently underserved developers.

Thank you for the great work!
