What's Wrong?
I use Windows Terminal with Windows PowerShell.
When trying to use the /terminal-setup command, I get an error message, which is contradictory because it states both that it cannot be run from windows-terminal and that it's one of the suppported apps.
Terminal Windows
Version: 1.23.13503.0
What Should Happen?
/terminal-setup command should properly allow for using Shift+Enter for new lines.
Error Messages/Logs
❯ /terminal-setup
⎿ Terminal setup cannot be run from windows-terminal.
This command configures a convenient Shift+Enter shortcut for multi-line prompts.
Note: You can already use backslash ( + return to add newlines.
To set up the shortcut (optional):
1. Exit tmux/screen temporarily
2. Run /terminal-setup directly in one of these terminals:
• Windows: Windows Terminal
• IDE: VSCode, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed
• Other: Alacritty, Warp
3. Return to tmux/screen - settings will persist
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Windows Terminal with PowerShell
- Type claude /terminal-setup
