Thinking Display Patch

Make Claude Code's thinking blocks visible by default without pressing `ctrl+o`.

The Problem

Claude Code collapses thinking blocks by default, showing only:

∴ Thought for 3s (ctrl+o to show thinking)

You have to press `ctrl+o` every time to see the actual thinking content. This patch makes thinking blocks visible inline automatically.

**Current Version:** Claude Code 2.0.62 (Updated 2025-12-09)

Quick Start

# Clone or download this repository
cd claude-code-thinking

# Run the patch script (automatically detects your installation)
node patch-thinking.js

# Restart Claude Code

That's it! Thinking blocks now display inline without `ctrl+o`.

**Works with:**

• ✅ Local installations (~/.claude/local)
• ✅ Global npm installations (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
• ✅ All Node version managers (NVM, nodenv, asdf, etc.)

What This Patch Does

**Before:**

∴ Thought for 3s (ctrl+o to show thinking)
[thinking content hidden]

**After:**

∴ Thinking…

  [thinking content displayed inline]
  The actual thinking process is now visible
  without any keyboard shortcuts needed

How It Works

This patch modifies two locations in Claude Code's compiled JavaScript:

Patch 1: Remove the Banner (v2.0.30)

**Before:**

function GkQ({streamMode:A}){
  // ... displays "Thought for Xs (ctrl+o to show thinking)"
}

**After:**

function GkQ({streamMode:A}){return null}

**Effect:** Removes the collapsed thinking banner entirely.

**Version History:**

• v2.0.9: Function named Mr2
