Unclear It is not confirmed what the redraw shows, such as whether the link is highlighted.
What
Claude Code's terminal display now follows links under the mouse pointer:
- In fullscreen (alt-screen) mode, the hovered link is tracked, and a redraw is scheduled when it changes or the pointer leaves. Before, only hovered elements were tracked.
- The renderer forces a full overlay pass while a hovered link is active (
hoveredLinkSpansis non-empty). - Its change check now compares the freshly built overlay against
prevOverlaySig, where before it compared a different value.
Why
This probably adds link hover highlighting and likely fixes leftover hover or underline marks staying on screen after the pointer moves away.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
