Claude Code refuses to type into IDEs due to unchangeable safety tier restrictions
burkov · x · 2026-11-11
Developer Burkov complains that Claude Code refuses to type text into an IDE, citing restrictions that can't be disabled, and even refuses to delegate typing to Codex. A screenshot shows Claude's explanation: its computer-use tool tiers apps by risk, and terminals/IDEs can only ever get click-level access since typing into an IDE can run arbitrary code—no setting can override it. Workarounds offered: the user types on request, or launches Codex themselves.
