Problem Statement

Coming from VS Code, the Claude Code desktop app feels limited without a built-in terminal panel or file explorer. When Claude needs to run interactive commands (like brew install or gh auth login that require password input), there's no way to do it without switching to a separate Terminal app.

Proposed Solution

Would love to see the desktop app move toward a more IDE-like experience:

Integrated terminal panel (like VS Code's)
File explorer sidebar
Ability to handle interactive terminal sessions (password prompts, etc.)
Right now I'm sticking with the VS Code extension because of this. The desktop app has a great chat experience but falls short for actual development workflows.
