Add option to disable auto-opening diff view on file edit #43484

Description

@J-Propulse

Problem

When Claude Code edits a file via the VS Code extension, the diff view automatically opens in the editor area, pushing down the terminal panel. This is very disruptive, especially when working with multiple terminals.

Expected behavior

A setting to disable auto-opening the diff view, e.g.:

"claude-code.revealDiffOnEdit": false

File edits would still apply, but without forcing the editor to reveal the diff and steal focus from the terminal.

Environment

  • VS Code extension v2.1.92
  • macOS Darwin 25.4.0
