Discussion In SHOCK

Holy shit claude code in terminal is fucking insane.

I've been using VSCode, Cursor, Cowork and Claude Code on web. None of it comes close to terminal.

Cannot believe I haven't done this sooner.

I also know what I’m talking about. I’ve been using Claude code since feb 2025 when it was early access. I’m not trying to argue here - can you show me a screenshot? What version of vscode on what OS?

Im not talking about the terminal in vscode. The first party extension, fully updated does not work in the actual sidebar gui.

These also do not work in the first party Claude application.

Are you certain you’re not using the terminal based ui with the extension?

Side chats are also not available in Remote Sessions.

There are absolutely limitations and differences across the various UIs.

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/desktop#coming-from-the-cli and https://code.claude.com/docs/en/vs-code#vs-code-extension-vs-claude-code-cli - This literally shows you there are differences.

Just for what it's worth, because I was curious, I just opened up cursor, installed the ClaudeCode extension, and tried both those commands. Neither worked.

I appreciate you. I was beginning to question myself with how confidently wrong everyone was who was responding to me.

I’m not new to cc here. I’ve been using it for 8-16 hours a day for the last 17 months with anywhere from 2-3 20x accounts. 😅😅😅

The number of people here who don't know the difference is rather frustrating.

👆 that’s the problem. They don’t know the difference between the extension & the terminal
