IDE Integration and Shortcuts

Claude Code works the same in a plain terminal or inside your editor. The editor just adds a visual panel.

VS Code

Install the Claude Code extension from the marketplace, then sign in once. You get:

  • A chat panel next to your code
  • Inline diffs — see changes right in the editor
  • @file mentions by clicking, instead of typing the path

Open it with the Spark icon in the top right, or Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P → “Claude Code”.

JetBrains (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm)

Install the Claude Code plugin from the plugin marketplace. It needs the standalone claude CLI installed too (see Installation).

Keyboard Shortcuts

ShortcutWhat it does
Shift+TabCycle permission modes
Ctrl+CInterrupt the current response
Ctrl+DQuit the session
↑ / ↓Move through your message history
TabAuto-complete a command or file path

Want your own custom key bindings? Edit ~/.claude/keybindings.json — useful if a default shortcut clashes with your terminal or OS.
