[FEATURE] Make /context display persist until ESC is pressed

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jan 18, 2026 by jx-nimblerx Closed Jan 22, 2026

Feature Description

The /context command currently auto-dismisses after displaying. It would be helpful if it persisted until the user presses ESC to dismiss it manually.

Use Case

When monitoring context usage during longer conversations, having /context stay visible allows users to reference the token breakdown while continuing to work, rather than having to re-run the command repeatedly.

Proposed Behavior

  • /context displays and remains visible
  • User presses ESC to dismiss
  • Consistent with other modal/overlay dismissal patterns in Claude Code

Current Behavior

/context displays briefly then auto-dismisses without user input.

Environment

  • Version: 2.1.12
  • Platform: macOS
