Toggle `/diff` in fullscreen to watch uncommitted changes as Claude edits
Upgrade to Claude Code v2.1.260, enter fullscreen, and run/diff so uncommitted changes appear beside the conversation as Claude edits. Clear a long transcript with ctrl+l/cmd+k, and only trust /rewind when checkpoint backups actually exist.Why this loop
v2.1.260 adds a fullscreen diff panel, toggled with /diff, that sits beside the conversation and shows uncommitted changes as Claude edits. Review the working tree in-session instead of waiting for a late git diff. Fullscreen ctrl+l / cmd+k now clears the transcript view like a terminal clear; scroll up for earlier messages so a long edit loop stays readable next to the panel. Fold rewind into the same review loop: /rewind and --rewind-files no longer report success when checkpoint backups were missing and nothing was restored, and they no longer leave stale file-read tracking from rewound-away turns (which caused "File unchanged since last read" stubs and full-file re-injection after external edits). When you run a skill or slash command from the IDE, keep the line selection so the "N lines selected" context reaches Claude.
Proposed actions
- Upgrade to Claude Code v2.1.260, enter fullscreen, and run
/diffso the uncommitted-changes panel opens beside the conversation as Claude edits. - Leave
/difftoggled on during Edit/Write turns and review each uncommitted hunk in that panel instead of leaving the session to rungit diff. - In fullscreen press
ctrl+l(Windows/Linux) orcmd+k(macOS) to clear the transcript view like a terminalclear; scroll up for earlier messages without closing the diff panel. - Before
/rewindor--rewind-files, confirm checkpoint backup files exist; v2.1.260 no longer reports success when nothing was restored and no longer keeps stale file-read tracking from rewound-away turns. - When launching a skill or slash command from the IDE, keep the current line selection so the "N lines selected" context is sent to Claude.

Why it matters
v2.1.260 adds a fullscreen diff panel, toggled with /diff, that sits beside the conversation and shows uncommitted changes as Claude edits. Review the working tree in-session instead of waiting for a late git diff. Fullscreen ctrl+l / cmd+k now clears the transcript view like a terminal clear; scroll up for earlier messages so a long edit loop stays readable next to the panel. Fold rewind into the same review loop: /rewind and --rewind-files no longer report success when checkpoint backups were missing and nothing was restored, and they no longer leave stale file-read tracking from rewound-away turns (which caused "File unchanged since last read" stubs and full-file re-injection after external edits). When you run a skill or slash command from the IDE, keep the line selection so the "N lines selected" context reaches Claude.
