Allow configuring companion (buddy) speech bubble display duration
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 7, 2026 by lyu-xg Closed Apr 9, 2026
Feature Request
The companion/buddy speech bubble disappears too quickly for some users. It would be great to have a configurable setting to control how long the speech bubble lingers before fading out.
Use Case
I read slowly (non-native English speaker) and often can't finish reading the companion's comment before it disappears. There's currently no way to adjust this.
Proposed Solution
Add a setting like companionBubbleDuration (in seconds) to control how long the speech bubble stays visible. For example:
{
"companionBubbleDuration": 10
}
A value of 0 or "persistent" could mean it stays until the next user action.
Current Workarounds
/buddy mute//buddy unmute— but this is all-or-nothing, not a real solution.
Environment
- Claude Code CLI (macOS)
