Claude Code Context Plus

A VS Code extension that bridges your editor and Claude Code CLI. Right-click files or selections to send them as @-references directly into your Claude Code terminal.

Born out of switching from Cursor to Claude Code — this extension brings back some most-missed editor integrations: right-click to send files and selections as prompt context.

Features

Add files to context

Right-click a file in the explorer or editor tab and select "Add to Claude Code". Sends @path/to/file to the Claude Code terminal. Supports multi-select.

Send selections

Select code in the editor, right-click, and choose "Send Selection to Claude Code". Sends @path/to/file:startLine-endLine so Claude knows exactly what you're pointing at.

Result in terminal

References are typed into the Claude Code terminal input without pressing Enter, so you stay in control.

More features

• Multi-root workspace support — Correctly resolves paths in multi-root workspaces. Files in the terminal's folder use relative paths; files in other folders use absolute paths.
• Auto-detect Claude Code terminals — Automatically finds terminals named "Claude Code" or matching version patterns (e.g. 1.0.32). Configurable with custom regex patterns.
• Manual terminal designation — Use the command palette to manually designate any terminal as your Claude Code target.
• Status bar indicator — Shows when a Claude Code terminal is active. Displays a selection icon when you have text selected, and clicking it sends the selection.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Commands

All commands are available via the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P):

• Add to Claude Code — Send file(s) as @-references
• Send Selection to Claude Code — Send selected code with line numbers
• Set as Claude Code Terminal — Manually designate a terminal
• Select Claude Code Terminal — Choose between multiple Claude Code terminals

Configuration

How It Works

The extension types @-references into your Claude Code terminal input without pressing Enter, so you stay in control. For files it sends @relative/path, and for selections it sends @relative/path:startLine-endLine.

Paths are resolved relative to the Claude Code terminal's working directory. In multi-root workspaces, files in the terminal's folder get short relative paths while files in other workspace folders get absolute paths, so Claude Code always resolves the correct file.
