Ecosystem Impact
VS Code has landed fixes in 5 of the last 10 releases, including today's focus-jump fix — a sustained cadence of editor-integration polish alongside the broader stability work.
Key Themes

May Help If You've Noticed
Shift+Tab in the permission comment field accidentally approved edits for your whole session
Slash commands run while Claude was mid-reply showed garbled text instead of real characters
Task list (ctrl+t) reopened collapsed after resuming a session, even if you'd left it expanded
Background sessions like /ultrareview grew slower and used more memory the longer they ran
Reopening a window with multiple Claude panels made focus jump between tabs on its own

Changes in Claude Code v2.1.235

Added1 change

  • •Added an optional spellcheck setting that underlines misspelled words in the prompt input as you type, using your installed aspell, hunspell, or ispell

Improved4 changes

  • •Improved memory and CPU usage while cloud sessions such as /ultrareview or /autofix-pr run in the background — their event streams are no longer re-scanned and re-rendered on every update
  • •Improved permission dialogs: display text and "don't ask again" options now always match what a grant would cover, and "don't ask again" is withheld when contents cannot be fully displayed
  • •Improved the embedded grep in native macOS/Linux builds: pathological patterns now fail fast instead of exhausting memory, and -m N with -A/-C prints correct context
  • •Improved the context-limit error to say when auto-compact is off and point to /config to re-enable it

Fixed10 changes

  • •Fixed whole-prompt-cache invalidation when a language server disconnected or reconnected mid-session
  • •Fixed nested markdown list items misaligning at depth 3+ and added a hanging indent to wrapped list items in the terminal UI
  • •Fixed prompt input highlights (slash commands, keywords, mentions) appearing shifted by one or more characters in some multi-line prompts
  • •Fixed Shift+Tab inside the permission prompt's comment field approving the edit and granting session-wide edit permission instead of closing the field
  • •Fixed the Agent tool advertising a general-purpose default in sessions where that agent is unavailable: an omitted subagent_type there now gets a clear error listing the available agents
  • •Fixed notebook cell delete/replace approval dialogs silently omitting the existing cell content when the notebook or cell could not be read; the dialog now says why
  • •Fixed slash commands run while Claude is responding showing HTML entities instead of the actual characters
  • •Fixed the prompt footer not showing the "Update installed" restart notice after a background auto-update
  • •Fixed the expanded task list (ctrl+t) always starting collapsed when resuming or relaunching into a session that still has open tasks
  • •[VSCode] Fixed focus jumping between open Claude tabs on its own when a window with several Claude panels is restored or reloaded

Other4 changes

  • •Vim mode: NORMAL mode and cursor position are now preserved when toggling the detailed transcript (ctrl+o) or closing a panel
  • •Dialogs: arrow keys and Enter pressed in quick succession now select the option you navigated to instead of the previously highlighted one
  • •SendMessage now refuses messages too large for cross-session delivery up front instead of silently dropping them
  • •Remote Control: claude rc now applies the same enterprise-gateway availability check as interactive startup
