Would love to see official Microsoft Visual Studio

Problem Statement
Would love to see official Microsoft Visual Studio (the full IDE,
not VS Code) extension support for Claude Code.
Currently .NET and C++ developers have limited options:
- Developer PowerShell in VS: Shift+Enter doesn't work,
/terminal-setup fails. Only backslash+Enter works.
- External Windows Terminal: Works, but opens in a separate
window and breaks the in-IDE workflow.
- Community extension (dliedke/ClaudeCodeExtension):
Appreciated, but it's a CLI wrapper rather than a native
integration — no inline diffs, no @-mention with line ranges,
no plan review, no checkpoint/rewind. Maintained by a single
developer, so feature parity and long-term support aren't
guaranteed.
The .NET ecosystem is large and Visual Studio-centric. An official
VSIX with feature parity to the VS Code extension would make
Claude Code a daily driver for many currently underserved developers.
Thank you for the great work!
