`/terminal-setup` detects its own installed keybinding as conflict on second run

What's Wrong?
Running /terminal-setup twice in VSCode terminal causes a loop:
- First run: Successfully installs the Shift+Enter keybinding with
\^[\r - Second run: Detects this same keybinding as a "conflict" and asks to remove it
The command doesn't recognize its own installed keybinding format, treating ANY shift+enter binding as a conflict - even the one it just installed.
What Should Happen?
Running /terminal-setup multiple times should be idempotent:
- If the correct keybinding is already installed, the command should recognize it and report "Already configured" or similar
- The command should only warn about conflicts when a DIFFERENT keybinding exists (e.g., user's custom
\\\r\nbinding), not its own installed binding
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code in VSCode integrated terminal
- Run
/terminal-setup - Observe: "Installed VSCode terminal Shift+Enter key binding"
- Run
/terminal-setupagain - Observe: "Found existing VSCode terminal Shift+Enter key binding. Remove it to continue."
The keybinding file at ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/keybindings.json shows:
[
{
"key": "shift+enter",
"command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
"args": {
"text": "\^[\r"
},
"when": "terminalFocus"
}
]
This is the exact binding that /terminal-setup installs, yet on second run it's detected as a conflict.
