What happens when you press ctrl+o? You get verbose mode?

As soon as there is a viable alternative to Claude Code, I'm gone after this change. It appears minor on the surface but their response to all the comments tells you everything you need to know. They don't even want to concede at all, or at least give a flag to enable the old behavior, what was deployed and working for many users before. It's a signal that someone, somewhere at Anthropic is making decisions based on ego, not user feedback.

The other fact pattern is their CLI is not open source, so we can't go in and change it ourselves. We shouldn't have to. They have also locked down OpenCode and while there are hacks available, I shouldn't have to resort to such cat and mouse games as someone who pays $200/month for a premium service.

I'm aggressively exploring other options, and it's only a matter of if -- not when, one surfaces.

>Try using it for a few days. We've been using this internally at Anthropic for about a month now, and found that it took people a few days to mentally switch over to the new UI. Once they did, it "clicked" and they appreciated the reduced noise and focus on the tools that actually do need their attention.

Ah, the old "you're holding it wrong."

$200 a month? I buy compute credits as needed and have used maybe $300 in a year

> That’s it. “Read 3 files.” Which files? Doesn’t matter.

It doesn't say "Read 3 files." though - it says "Read 3 files (ctrl+o to expand)" and you press ctrl+o and it expands the output to give you the detail.

It's a really useful feature to increase the signal to noise ratio where it's usually safe to do so.

I suspect the author simply needs to enable verbose mode output.

Give me my local models so I can write a locally handcrafted tool that does what I want, goddamit.

It feels like CC got nerfed after the 4.6 drop.

Can we not like, just apply a patch? Or will anthropic be mad if I run their client with my own patch?

Nix makes it easy to package up esotheric patches reliably and reproducibly, claude lowers the cost of creating such patches, the only roadblocks Inforesee are legal.

RooCode is a better version of ClaudeCode than ClaudeCode.

No affiliation, just a fan.
