Problem Statement

Claude Code renders diffs and code segments, etc. As they usually scroll by too fast for human eyes, it becomes spam, and makes the screen "jitter" or jump up and down entire screens too fast - for some users with epilepsy, this would be an Accessibility issue.

Proposed Solution

Per Claude Code, it suggested I file a feature request:

"Add settings.json key to suppress Edit/Write tool diff rendering during autonomous/auto-approved sessions."

Essentially, there should be a "quiet" setting where Claude Code only provides a summary of the work done, and not constantly flash up and down during writes/edits (code, documents, etc). This is highly annoying.

Alternative Solutions

Right now, the only alternative is to use agents to make those changes, but it adds 5-10 seconds lag, and burns more tokens, which is not efficient.

Priority

High - Significant impact on productivity

Feature Category

Interactive mode (TUI)

Use Case Example

This happens during every session, every workflow. As soon as any edits or code changes are needed, I get spammed with pages of text I will never read, and the console screen flashes back and forth in the most annoying manner. I can't believe there's no UI person who worked on this and went "gee, that does seem to suck".
