Improvements for Claude Code IDE plugin for JetBrains
I use the JetBrains plugin with Claude Code in IDE terminal window. Many aspects of the plugin are great, a few are very annoying.
Window Focus: when claude code edits a file it opens the file in the IDE and gives a before/after view with 'Apply' button. Nice feature to see what the changes are. But when the edit is complete the focus stays in the editor window and does not shift back to the terminal window, so when you begin typing you are now typing in the code window and not the terminal window (i.e. you are not typing your next prompt you are editing code.)
This leads to constant confusion and having to delete characters in the code.
The plugin should at lease re-focus the IDE to the terminal window when the edit is finished. And even better, the plugin should CLOSE THE FILE.
If you choose to let Claude edit multiple files (shift-tab) then when claude is doneyou may have a large number of files open in the IDE and they need to be manually closed.
