What's Wrong?

The VS Code extension doesn't appear to have a working way to rename past conversations/sessions.

What Should Happen?

Expected behavior
According to documentation, hovering over a session in the Past Conversations dropdown should reveal rename and remove actions. The /resume picker should also support pressing R to rename.

Actual behavior
Hovering over sessions in the Past Conversations dropdown shows no actions
The /resume picker is a search input - all keystrokes go to the search box, so R just searches for "R"
Environment
VS Code extension (not CLI)
macOS
Workaround
None found for the VS Code interface. The /rename command doesn't appear to exist either.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code in VS Code
  2. Have at least one past conversation
  3. Click the "Past Conversations" dropdown at the top of the panel
  4. Hover over any conversation title
  5. Observe: no rename/remove actions appear
  6. Alternatively, type /resume to open the session picker
  7. Try pressing R to rename - the keystroke goes into the search box instead

Expected behavior:

  • Hovering over sessions should reveal rename and remove actions (per documentation)
  • Or pressing R in the /resume picker should trigger a rename prompt

Actual behavior:

  • No hover actions appear on conversation titles
  • All keystrokes in /resume picker go to the search input
  • No way to rename conversations in VS Code interface

Environment:

Claude Code VS Code extension
macOS

Additional context:
Documentation states: "Hover over a session to reveal rename and remove actions: rename to give it a descriptive title, or remove to delete it from the list." This functionality doesn't appear to be implemented in the VS Code extension UI.
