[DOCS] Settings docs missing reduced motion configuration option

Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Feb 3, 2026 by coygeek Closed Feb 4, 2026

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings

Section/Topic

"Available settings" table

Current Documentation

The available settings list includes UI-related options like:

| spinnerTipsEnabled | Show tips in the spinner while Claude is working. Set to false to disable tips (default: true) | | terminalProgressBarEnabled | Enable the terminal progress bar that shows progress in supported terminals like Windows Terminal and iTerm2 (default: true) |

There is no setting documented for reduced motion.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.30 adds a reduced motion mode to the config, but the settings reference does not list any reduced motion key or describe how to enable it. Users cannot discover the setting or apply it through settings.json.

Suggested Improvement

Add the reduced motion setting to the "Available settings" table with:

  • The exact key name and accepted values
  • A short description of what UI motion is affected
  • A minimal example entry in settings.json

If there is a related UI or terminal config section, add a brief cross-reference there as well.

Impact

Low - Minor confusion or inconvenience
