Use Claude Code in VS Code

   * **Plan**: Claude describes what it will do and waits for approval before making changes. VS Code automatically opens the plan as a full Markdown document where you can add inline comments to give feedback before Claude begins.
   * **Edit automatically**: Claude makes edits without asking.
 * **Command menu**: click `/` or type `/` to open the command menu. Options include attaching files, switching models, toggling extended thinking, viewing plan usage (`/usage`), and starting a [Remote Control](/docs/en/remote-control) session (`/remote-control`). The Customize section provides access to MCP servers, hooks, memory, permissions, and plugins. Items with a terminal icon open in the integrated terminal.
-  * The Settings section includes **Enable Remote Control for all sessions**, which sets [`remoteControlAtStartup`](/docs/en/settings#available-settings) to control whether [new interactive sessions connect to Remote Control automatically](/docs/en/remote-control#enable-remote-control-for-all-sessions). Requires Claude Code v2.1.203 or later.

Requires Claude Code v2.1.203 or later.
   * The Settings section also includes **Focus view**, which hides tool calls, tool results, and thinking behind expandable rows, leaving your prompts and Claude's responses. Claude's latest to-do list stays visible, and so does the text a pending question from Claude is asking about. Toggle it there, with `Ctrl+Option+F` (Mac) / `Ctrl+Alt+F` (Windows/Linux), or from the Command Palette with **Claude Code: Toggle Focus view**. The change applies to every open session and persists across sessions. Requires Claude Code v2.1.221 or later.
   * To report a bug, click **Report a problem** at the bottom of the menu, or type `/bug` or `/feedback` with an optional description that prefills the report. When you submit the report and you're signed in to Anthropic on a first-party connection, Claude Code sends it to Anthropic. On a third-party provider, or without Anthropic credentials, the dialog still opens, but submitting shows an error and sends nothing: unlike the CLI's `/bug`, the extension doesn't write a local archive. Requires Claude Code v2.1.229 or later.
-* **Side questions**: type `/btw` followed by a question, or pick it from the command menu, to ask about your session [without adding to the conversation](/docs/en/interactive-mode#side-questions-with-%2Fbtw). The answer opens in a panel beside the chat, where you can ask follow-up questions. The thread survives window reloads. Claude Code keeps the newest 20 exchanges and expires stored threads on the [`cleanupPeriodDays`](/docs/en/settings#available-settings) schedule, as long as Claude Code can [safely determine the retention period](/docs/en/claude-directory#cleaned-up-automatically). To clear a thread, click the trash icon in the panel. Requires Claude Code v2.1.227 or later.

 * **Context indicator**: the prompt box shows how much of Claude's context window you're using. Claude automatically compacts when needed, or you can run `/compact` manually.
 * **Extended thinking**: lets Claude spend more time reasoning through complex problems. Toggle it on via the command menu (`/`). Claude's reasoning appears in the conversation as collapsed blocks: click a block to read it, or press `Ctrl+O` to expand or collapse every thinking block in the session. See [Extended thinking](/docs/en/model-config#extended-thinking) for details.
 * **Multi-line input**: press `Shift+Enter` to add a new line without sending. This also works in the "Other" free-text input of question dialogs.
