Feature request: Allow users to disable the 'ctrl+c to copy' hint in status bar
Open 💬 0 comments Opened Jul 8, 2026 by Gone-Beyond
Summary
When text is selected in the Claude Code terminal UI, a ctrl+c to copy hint appears in the bottom status bar. There is currently no way to disable or hide this hint.
Requested Change
Add a configuration option in settings.json to allow users to suppress this hint. For example:
{
showCopyHint: false
}
Motivation
- The hint is hardcoded UI behavior with no toggle
- Experienced users already know how to copy selected text and find the hint visually distracting
- Consistent with Claude Code's philosophy of giving users control over UI elements (e.g.,
autoScrollEnabled,statusLinecustomization,autoCompactEnabled)
Environment
- Platform: Windows 11
- Claude Code terminal UI
