Claude Code Users Upset Over Removed Context Feature

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Users of Anthropic's Claude Code desktop application are expressing frustration over the removal of a convenient feature that allowed them to check context usage by hovering over a "context donut." This functionality has been replaced by a sidebar that requires extra clicks and screen space, which is particularly inconvenient for users with specific monitor setups or window configurations. The user base feels that this change reduces functionality rather than improving it, and they advocate for the restoration of the original hover feature alongside the new sidebar option. AI
