Configurable Scorch bubble display duration
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 2, 2026 by abba-01 Closed Apr 6, 2026
Summary
The Scorch companion bubble disappears too fast to read. Users who type quickly or have attention/processing differences miss the content entirely.
Request
Add a configurable display duration for the Scorch speech bubble — either:
- A global setting in Claude Code preferences (e.g., bubble duration: 5s / 10s / 30s / until dismissed)
- A click-to-dismiss option so the bubble stays until the user acknowledges it
- Or both
Impact
Scorch's comments are often valuable (contextual, timely, sometimes the only signal the user catches mid-scroll). Losing them to a fast timer defeats the purpose of having a companion at all.
User context
User is a fast typist on a mechanical keyboard. By the time fingers leave the keys, the bubble is gone.
