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
- Open Claude Code in VS Code
- Have at least one past conversation
- Click the "Past Conversations" dropdown at the top of the panel
- Hover over any conversation title
- Observe: no rename/remove actions appear
- Alternatively, type /resume to open the session picker
- 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.
