Feature Request: Add "Rename Session" command to VS Code extension
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 1, 2026 by sipak Closed Mar 5, 2026
Summary
Add a VS Code command palette command (e.g. Claude: Rename Session) to rename the current conversation session, similar to the /rename command available in the terminal CLI.
Problem
In the VS Code extension, the only way to rename a session is through the Past Conversations dropdown → hover over session → click pencil icon. There is no command palette command or keyboard shortcut to quickly rename the current active session.
The terminal CLI version has /rename [name] which works great, but this isn't available in the extension.
Proposed Solution
- Add a
Claude: Rename Sessioncommand to the VS Code command palette - Optionally support an inline
/renamecommand in the extension chat input - When triggered, show an input box pre-filled with the current session name
Use Cases
- Quickly naming a session while working without leaving the chat flow
- Power users who prefer keyboard-driven workflows over mouse interactions
