Problem Statement

I use Claude Code CLI via SSH on a remote server. Usually I'm multi-tasking while managing Claude. I have tried many SSH clients and cannot find one that gives any visual taskbar indication that Claude is awaiting my input on the MANY times I am prompted for read permissions, despite having a settings.json configured that should grant these permissions universally....

When I troubleshot this with Claude he said:

"The problem: Claude Code CLI would need to emit a bell character (\a) when prompting for input for this to trigger a taskbar flash. I don't know if it does that natively."

So, unless it is included and somehow I have failed at all my attempts to configure the clients to reflect the bell, this leaves users having to constantly check on Claude to ensure he's working.

Please let me know if I'm missing something or if this could be implemented.

Proposed Solution

CLI emits \a when prompting for user input.
