[Feature Request] Display message queue count in Claude Code CLI
Problem
While Claude is busy, I can queue messages by typing and pressing Enter, but there's no indication of how many are waiting. After queuing a few, I lose track of what I've lined up and can't tell whether something got queued or dropped.
Proposed solution
Show a count of pending queued messages somewhere persistent — e.g. in the status line or next to the input box (3 queued). Ideally, also a way to view, edit and remove individual queued messages before they run (e.g. a shortcut that lists them).
Why it helps
Makes queuing predictable for longer sessions: you can see your backlog, catch accidental queues, and reorder/cancel before they execute.

Closing for now — inactive for too long. Please open a new issue if this is still relevant.
Messages you queue while Claude is working are listed above the input box, so you can see everything that's waiting. To edit or drop one, press
Up(orEscwith an empty input) to pull the most recent queued message back into the prompt, then change it or clear it. Reordering isn't supported, but the queue itself is visible and editable.See: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode
