[DOCS] Incorrect NPM Package Name in JetBrains Plugin Settings Example

typo or formatting issue
Location

Section/Topic
"Plugin settings" section, specifically the "General Settings" subsection describing the "Claude command" field.
Current Documentation
Claude command: Specify a custom command to run Claude (for example,claude,/usr/local/bin/claude, ornpx @anthropic/claude)
What's Wrong
The example uses the incorrect NPM package name npx @anthropic/claude. The correct package name is @anthropic-ai/claude-code.
This is particularly confusing because the same document correctly references the package later in the troubleshooting section (line 138):
Verify Claude Code is installed: npm list -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
Users who copy the incorrect package name from the General Settings section will get an npm error.
Suggested Improvement
Update the example to use the correct package name:
Claude command: Specify a custom command to run Claude (for example,claude,/usr/local/bin/claude, ornpx @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
Additional Context
- Mirror location:
code.claude.com/docs/en/jetbrains.md(line 75) - The troubleshooting section at line 138 already uses the correct package name
- This inconsistency within the same document makes the error more likely to confuse users
