The gap between reading a Claude Code session and acting on it just got smaller. v0.14.0 introduces two features that connect what you see in claude-view to the work you do in your editor.

Open in IDE

Claude Code sessions reference files constantly — edits, reads, searches, diffs. Until now, seeing a file referenced in a session meant manually navigating to it in your editor.

v0.14.0 adds an Open in IDE button wherever files appear: the Changes tab, individual file headers in the diff view, and the project headers in the Kanban live monitor. Click it and the file opens in your editor at the right path.

claude-view auto-detects which editors you have installed — VS Code, Cursor, Zed, and others. If you have more than one, it asks once and remembers. The detection runs locally against your installed applications; nothing is sent to a server.

The button is intentionally small and secondary — it doesn’t get in the way of reading the session, but it’s there when you want to act on something you see.

@File mention chips

When Claude references a file using @filename notation, that mention is now extracted and displayed as a chip on the session card. You can see at a glance which files a session touched before you open it — useful for finding sessions that worked on a specific file, or for understanding what a long-running agent was doing.

Chips show abbreviated names to keep cards compact. Hover a chip to see the full path. The extraction runs at parse time, so mentions appear on both live sessions and historical ones without any extra work.

Richer live chat

The live chat rail — which shows the streaming conversation between you and Claude during an active session — now renders the full structure of assistant responses:

Thinking blocks are shown in a collapsible aside, so you can see Claude’s reasoning without it dominating the view
Tool calls show the function name and arguments with syntax highlighting
Tool results are formatted and collapsible for long outputs

A mode selector at the top of the rail lets you switch between Control mode (direct commands) and Review mode (critique and suggestions). A context gauge shows what percentage of the current model’s context window is in use — useful for knowing when you’re approaching limits on a long session.

Teams panel improvements

The teams panel now separates human team members from Claude sub-agents. Previously they were mixed together, which made it hard to see who was coordinating the session versus which agents were doing work. The new layout puts people and agents in distinct sections with clear labels.
