Preflight Checklist
Problem Statement
Currently Claude Code only supports typing @ to reference files, which is slow when paths are long or deeply nested. Users often already have the file/folder visible in their OS file explorer or VSCode sidebar, but still have to type or search for it manually.
Proposed Solution
Allow users to drag-and-drop files or folders from the OS file explorer (Finder/Explorer) or VSCode sidebar directly into the Claude Code chat input. On drop, the path should be auto-inserted in @path/to/file format (same as typing @).
Should support:
- Single file drop
- Multiple files at once
- Folders (inserted as @path/to/folder/)
- Works in both CLI terminal and VSCode extension input box
Alternative Solutions
Typing @ with autocomplete works but is slow for long/nested paths.
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
