[DOCS] Settings page missing /config toggle for showTurnDuration
Documentation Type
Incorrect/outdated documentation
Documentation Location
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings
Section/Topic
The showTurnDuration row in the "Global config settings" table.
Current Documentation
The settings page documents showTurnDuration as:
"Show turn duration messages after responses, e.g. 'Cooked for 1m 6s'. Default: true. Edit ~/.claude.json directly to change"
The adjacent terminalProgressBarEnabled row correctly notes: "Appears in /config as Terminal progress bar."
What's Wrong or Missing?
Changelog v2.1.79 added a "Show turn duration" toggle to the /config menu. The docs still instruct users to edit ~/.claude.json directly, which is now incomplete. The parallel row for terminalProgressBarEnabled already follows the correct pattern by noting its /config appearance, but showTurnDuration lacks the same note.
Suggested Improvement
Update the showTurnDuration description to match the pattern used by terminalProgressBarEnabled:
Before:
"Show turn duration messages after responses, e.g. 'Cooked for 1m 6s'. Default: true. Edit ~/.claude.json directly to change"
After:
"Show turn duration messages after responses, e.g. 'Cooked for 1m 6s'. Default: true. Appears in /config as Show turn duration"
Impact
Low - Minor confusion or inconvenience
