DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.0.10

External Editor Experience

What changed: External editors now launch in alternate screen buffer for cleaner terminal experience

Details:

  • Added AAQ() function that wraps editor invocation with terminal screen switching
  • Uses \x1B[?1049h to enable alternate screen before launching editor
  • Uses \x1B[?1049l to restore original screen after editor exits
  • Prevents editor output from polluting the Claude Code interface
  • Cleans up temporary files after editor closes
  • Supports $VISUAL, $EDITOR, and fallback editors (code, vi, nano)
  • Evidence: AAQ() at line 422356 in v2.0.10 (screen buffer codes existed but not integrated in v2.0.9)
