Feature Request: Option to hide 'IDE disconnected' status message #76

Description

When using claude-code.nvim, the Claude terminal interface displays an "IDE disconnected" status message at the bottom of the sidebar. Since the plugin runs Claude in terminal mode without establishing an actual IDE connection, this message appears persistently and cannot be hidden.

Current Behavior

  • The message "IDE disconnected" is always visible at the bottom of the Claude Code terminal window
  • This is expected behavior from Claude's perspective since no IDE connection exists
  • There is currently no configuration option to hide or suppress this message

Proposed Solution

Would it be possible to add one of the following:

  1. A configuration option to hide/suppress the IDE status message
  2. Pass a flag to the Claude CLI that would hide this status indicator (if such a flag exists or could be added)
  3. Post-process the terminal output to filter out or hide this specific message
  4. Add documentation explaining this is expected behavior when running without IDE integration

Use Case

For users who primarily use Claude through the Neovim plugin, the "IDE disconnected" message provides no useful information and takes up screen space. Having the option to hide it would provide a cleaner interface.

Environment

  • Neovim version: Latest
  • claude-code.nvim: Latest
  • Claude CLI: Latest

Additional Context

The Claude CLI does have an --ide flag that attempts to auto-connect to an IDE if available, but this doesn't apply to the terminal-based usage in Neovim. The message appears to be part of Claude's standard UI when running without an IDE connection.

Thank you for considering this feature request! The plugin works great otherwise.
