VSCode extension: add font size setting for chat panel

Open 💬 9 comments Opened Mar 13, 2026 by FIL033

Feature Request

Add a setting to control the font size in the Claude Code chat panel (VSCode extension).

Problem

Currently there is no way to adjust the font size specifically for the Claude Code panel. The chat panel uses a font size that is smaller than the editor font, and there is no dedicated setting to change it.

The only workaround is to zoom the entire VSCode window (Ctrl+/-), which affects the whole IDE, not just the Claude panel.

Proposed Solution

Add a VSCode extension setting, for example:

"claude.fontSize": 14

This would allow users to set a comfortable font size for the chat panel independently of the editor font size.

Expected Behavior

Users can configure the font size of the Claude Code panel via VSCode settings without affecting the rest of the IDE.
