claude-code-settings incorrectly treats leftArrowOpensAgents as a settings.json property

[liby]

Area with issue?

JSON Schema

✔️ Expected Behavior

claude-code-settings.json should only advertise properties that Claude Code reads from the settings files matched by the catalog, such as **/.claude/settings.json.

Because leftArrowOpensAgents is a global-config preference stored in ~/.claude.json, it should not be declared as a settings.json property.

❌ Actual Behavior

The current schema declares leftArrowOpensAgents, while the catalog associates that schema with **/.claude/settings.json.

Confirmed with Claude Code v2.1.218: Claude Code ignores this key when it is added to ~/.claude/settings.json. The shortcut is instead changed through /config, which persists it in ~/.claude.json. The same storage behavior has also been reported in anthropics/claude-code#75899.

This matches the current Claude Code documentation:

• Global config settings are stored in ~/.claude.json, and keys from that category are silently ignored in settings.json.
• Agent View documentation says to turn off this shortcut with the leftArrowOpensAgents setting in /config.

The official Anthropic VS Code extension v2.1.218 also bundles a settings schema for .claude/settings.json, .claude/settings.local.json, and managed settings files. That bundled schema does not declare leftArrowOpensAgents, although it does declare the regular disableAgentView setting.

The field appears to have been added to SchemaStore in #5867 by classifying it as a regular settings property. As a result, editors using the published SchemaStore schema offer autocomplete and documentation for a key that Claude Code does not load from the matched files.

JSON, YAML, or TOML file that does not work

{
  "$schema": "https://json.schemastore.org/claude-code-settings.json",
  "leftArrowOpensAgents": false
}

The file validates, but the Left-arrow Agent View shortcut remains enabled.
