How do I use the Claude Code JetBrains plugin?

Install from JetBrains Marketplace, use Cmd+Esc to open and Cmd+Option+K to insert file references. The /ide command connects an external terminal to the running IDE MCP server. WSL2 and remote dev have specific setup steps.

Should I use the Claude Code VS Code extension or run the CLI in the integrated terminal?

The VS Code extension adds graphical diffs, a plugin manager, and a Remote tab for cloud sessions. The CLI keeps full tab completion, bash shortcuts, and every command. Run both at once: the extension connects to whatever the CLI starts.
