Currently, /rename and the session picker (with R to rename) only work in the terminal CLI, not in the VSCode extension sidebar.
It would be great to be able to rename sessions directly from the VSCode sidebar, e.g. via:
- A context menu (right-click) on sessions in the "Past Conversations" dropdown
- Support for the
/renameslash command within the sidebar panel
Current workaround: Open the integrated terminal, run claude --resume, navigate to the session, and press R to rename. The renamed session then appears in the sidebar dropdown.
