[Feature Request] Toggle Claude Code session between terminal and native UI modes
Bug Description
Feature request: toggle an existing Claude Code session between terminal and native UI
The Claude Code: Use Terminal setting in the Cursor/VS Code extension controls which mode new sessions launch in, and toggling it
works fine for that. What's missing is the ability to move an existing, in-progress session between modes.
Each mode supports actions the other doesn't — for example:
- Pasting an image is supported in the native UI but not in the terminal.
- Exporting a transcript is supported in the terminal but not in the native UI.
Today, hitting one of these limitations mid-session means either losing the conversation context to start over in the other mode, or
doing without the action.
Requested: a command (palette entry / keybinding) like Claude Code: Move Session to Terminal and Claude Code: Move Session to Panel
that detaches the current session from its current surface and reattaches it to the other, preserving conversation history and
state.
Alternative: Support all commands in native UI
Environment: Cursor on macOS, SSH-connected to a Linux dev host.
