What's Wrong?

/terminal-setup installs the Shift+Enter keybinding to ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/keybindings.json, which is the regular VS Code path. VS Code Insiders reads from ~/Library/Application Support/Code - Insiders/User/keybindings.json. Shift+Enter doesn't work until the binding is manually copied to the Insiders path.

What Should Happen?

/terminal-setup should detect whether the user is running VS Code or VS Code Insiders and install the keybinding to the correct path.

  1. Open VS Code Insiders integrated terminal
  2. Run claude
  3. Run /terminal-setup
  4. It reports success and points to the regular Code keybindings.json
  5. Press Shift+Enter — nothing happens
  6. Manually copy the binding to ~/Library/Application Support/Code - Insiders/User/keybindings.json
  7. Reload window — Shift+Enter now works
