ClaudeVS

Simple integration of Claude Code CLI into Visual Studio 2026 and 2022. Works by launching an integrated console window with claude in it, which means Claude Code CLI retains all of its command line functionality and look & feel while VS is able to communicate with it. Currently, two actions are implemented:

Send active file path & line number to claude
Have claude execute a comment in code, similar to how copilot's tab completion would work but simpler

Uses a custom-built integrated Windows Terminal because the one up on nuget wasn't taking the Esc key, which is a common and non-remappable keybind in Claude Code CLI.

Nothing is saved by the extension: no credentials, conversations or anything since this is the actual Claude Code CLI program running inside VS. The project was written entirely by Sonnet 4.5 so it's got lots of useless comments and debug logging.

Usage

Menu Item	Description
View -> ClaudeVS	Launch Claude Code CLI (requires an open project/solution)
View -> Send File Location to Claude	Send file path and line number along with any text that's selected
View -> Send Comment Line to Claude	Execute the current line as a command for code generation

All of these are hotkeyable:
