What's Wrong?

using claude code in the CLI it can see things like linting issues from vscode.

in the vscode extension, the /ide command is missing (as seem to be many others), and IDE tool calls seem to be unavailable, as claude can't see linting issues for a given file.

Im having the same issue. most commands with / are not available. for e.g. /usage, /help. in VS code claude terminal they work, but in vs code IDE extension it doesn't

Same here.

It's especially frustrating given this API bug/error

same issue, cant rewind in VSC claude

JWBWork · 8 months ago

/rewind should absolutely be implemented in the extension, rolling back to the last commit could be overkill and the alternative rn is manual refactoring or unproductive use of tokens

Leeiio · 8 months ago

/rewind is very important, please implement this command completion in VSCode.

its so fustrating as in 2.0.53 version I'm still unable to use rewind (double esc) to go to an earlier stage in a chat session. I simply would not use the GUI interface until this is fixed. any idea why this is happening? and why dev fail to pay attention to this issue?

I'm wondering whether it is somethign wrong with the setup we have... as I don't see large enough people complaining about the lack fo this feature -- but at the same time me trying different configurations doesn't seem to help at all -- on windows, on linux, on cursor, on latest vscode, non of these helped.

Please at the very least, add the /rewind command. It is essential in Claude Code workflow

Any update on this?

+1 on adding /rewind.

FWIW, Cline Extension does have checkpoints and rewinds, so it's definitely not a limitation of VS Code.

gregornobis · 6 months ago

+1 to get this fixed. neither esc esc nor /rewind work for me.

Jbmanllr · 6 months ago

Just spend an hour or two making rewind work reliably please that's a major feature what the hell are you doing

ynamiki-mediee · 6 months ago

+1 for /rewind

This would be really helpful for managing the context window. It's better than compacting and can avoid the flickering terminal issue mentioned in:

Seems rewind/fork is now implemented (2.1.19). It doesn't work with the /rewind slash command, but by hovering over a previous message in your session.

Fork is mostly broken (see https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/22016) and I don't see rewind at all
