Keep files open in IDE after edits + navigate to line references

Problem Statement

Summary

Two related IDE integration improvements for a better code review workflow:

1. Files close immediately after approving edits - When Claude edits a file and I approve the change, the file opens briefly then closes. I'd like edited files to stay open so I can review the changes in my

editor's full context.

1. Line references only display in terminal - When Claude references code like src/auth.ts:42, this only appears as text in the terminal. It would be helpful if clicking or selecting these references navigated to

that line in the IDE.

Current Behavior

• Edit a file → approve → file flashes open → file closes
• Line numbers appear in terminal output but don't link to IDE

Proposed Solution

Desired Behavior

• After edit approval: File remains open in IDE, cursor positioned at the changed lines
• Line references: Clickable links that open the file at the specified line in VS Code/JetBrains

Use Case Example

Use Case

When reviewing Claude's changes across multiple files, I want to:

• See edits in full file context without re-opening manually
• Quickly jump to referenced code during discussion
• Compare changes against surrounding code in my familiar editor environment

Additional Context

Environment

• VS Code (also relevant for JetBrains)
• Claude Code CLI + VS Code extension
