Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Mar 6, 2026 by sangyongjung Closed Apr 4, 2026
Description
When multiple Claude Code conversation tabs are visible in the VSCode layout and the user presses Cmd+N in a Claude Code tab, the extension opens a new conversation for each visible tab instead of just one.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open multiple Claude Code conversation tabs (e.g., open 2-3 tabs)
- Keep all tabs visible in the current layout
- Focus on a Claude Code tab
- Press Cmd+N
Expected Behavior
One new conversation tab opens
Actual Behavior
Multiple new conversation tabs open (number matches the count of visible Claude Code tabs)
Examples
- 2 visible tabs → 2 new conversations open
- 3 visible tabs → 3 new conversations open
Environment
- VSCode: Latest
- Claude Code Extension: Latest
- OS: macOS
Root Cause
Cmd+N appears to be triggered for each visible tab simultaneously rather than once globally
