I use Claude code on remote workspaces for complex tasks and I often forgot to run it with --dangerously-skip-permissions flag. Current workflow is to

  • Remember that I forgot to pass the flag :)
  • stop current task
  • exit claude
  • run claude with --dangerously-skip-permissions --continue
  • prompt it again

Would be nice to gave some alternative to Shift + Tab which will enable permission bypass without restarting the session.

I think you can do this with /allowed-tools unless I'm misunderstanding

@wolffiex I don't think I understood what you mean by do this with /allowed-tools, could you provide more details of how /allowed-tools can be used to emulate enabling --dangerously-skip-permissions mid session?

did you try the command? you can use this to allow tools. there's no way to enable all of them but you can always stop and restart the session with that flag if you need to

Yeah, I've tried the command, but it's very different from the behavior I've described in the request.
I don't think allowed-tools can be used for use-case I've described.

The feature request Is about adding an option that allow bypass permissions mode without restarting the session.

if you are saying that this feature can't/won't be implemented?
