Description
The Claude Code web/mobile interface reached via Remote Control (claude.ai/code) shows a row of per-message actions on assistant responses: copy, "pin as chapter," "read aloud" (TTS), and a relative timestamp (e.g. "18 minutes ago").
The Claude Code VS Code extension's embedded chat panel shows none of these for the same message content.
Environment
- Extension: anthropic.claude-code v2.1.233 (win32-x64)
- Confirmed via package.json that none of the extension's contributed settings (claudeCode.*) expose these as togglable options — this doesn't appear to be a hidden setting, just absent functionality.
Question / request
Is this a deliberate scoping decision (IDE panel intentionally kept minimal) or a rollout gap (web UI features not yet ported to the VS Code panel)? If the latter, requesting these get feature parity — copy and timestamps in particular seem broadly useful in an IDE context too, not just web/mobile.
