Feature request: setting to hide/collapse file edit diffs in terminal transcript
Problem
When using Claude Code in the terminal, every file edit renders a full red/green diff block in the transcript. For heavy sessions with many file edits, this creates a lot of visual noise that is hard to scan past.
Current state
verbose: false and viewMode: focus reduce some output but do not suppress or collapse edit diffs specifically.
Request
A dedicated setting (e.g. showEditDiffs: false) or keyboard shortcut to hide or collapse the inline diff output for Edit/Update tool calls, while still showing the tool name and file path (e.g. Update(command/ROADMAP.md) — 1 line changed without the full diff body).
This would significantly improve the terminal UX for users doing iterative multi-file work.
