[Feature Request] Add PyCharm/JetBrains IDE button alongside VS Code button

Feature Request

Description

Currently, the Claude Code UI shows a \"VS Code\" button in the bottom-right corner that allows users to open their project in VS Code while maintaining the Claude Code session. However, there's no equivalent button for PyCharm or other JetBrains IDEs.

Use Case

Many developers (myself included) use PyCharm as their primary IDE and run Claude Code from PyCharm's integrated terminal. It would be great to have the same quick-access integration that VS Code users have.

Proposed Solution

Add a \"PyCharm\" or \"JetBrains IDE\" button next to the existing \"VS Code\" button that:

  • Detects the installed JetBrains IDE (PyCharm, IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, etc.)
  • Opens the current project in the detected IDE
  • Maintains the Claude Code session in the terminal

Additional Context

  • I understand there's already a JetBrains plugin available (https://docs.claude.com/s/claude-code-jetbrains)
  • This feature request is specifically about adding UI-level integration similar to what exists for VS Code
  • The button could be conditional - only show if a JetBrains IDE is detected on the system

Platform

  • macOS (though this would benefit all platforms)
  • Using PyCharm Professional

Thanks for considering this enhancement!
