[BUG] /config dialog immediately dismissed without showing interactive UI
Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Mar 14, 2026 by cfh-7598 Closed Apr 12, 2026
Description
Running /config in Claude Code immediately shows "Config dialog dismissed" instead of displaying the interactive settings UI with tabs.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.76
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0 arm64)
- Terminals tested: iTerm.app 3.6.9 (xterm-256color) AND macOS Terminal.app — same behavior in both
- Shell: zsh
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a new
claudesession - Type
/config - Observe: immediately prints "Config dialog dismissed" without showing any interactive UI
What I've Ruled Out
- Plugin interference: Removed all
enabledPluginsandextraKnownMarketplacesfrom settings.json — still reproduces - All custom config: Temporarily removed both
~/.claude/settings.jsonand~/.claude/settings.local.json— still reproduces - Terminal compatibility: Reproduced in both iTerm.app and macOS native Terminal.app
- Plan mode: Reproduces in normal REPL mode, not just plan mode
- Config syntax: JSON validated as correct; no hooks.json or .inputrc present
- Environment variables: No CI, NO_COLOR, or other suspicious env vars set
Expected Behavior
/config should open an interactive TUI dialog with multiple tabs for browsing and modifying settings.
Workaround
Manually editing ~/.claude/settings.json and ~/.claude/settings.local.json as a workaround.
