Add remoteControlEnabled setting to auto-start /remote-control on session start
Summary
There is no settings.json option to auto-enable /remote-control on session start. Users who rely on remote control every session must manually type /remote-control each time. There should be a remoteControlEnabled: true setting (mirroring the existing voiceEnabled pattern) that auto-starts the remote control server on session initialization.
Current Behavior
/remote-controlmust be manually typed every session- SessionStart hooks can only run shell commands, not invoke built-in slash commands
- No settings.json property exists to auto-enable this feature
Expected Behavior
{
"remoteControlEnabled": true
}
Adding this to ~/.claude/settings.json should auto-start the remote control server on every session, just like voiceEnabled: true auto-enables voice mode.
Use Case
Users who control Claude Code from a separate device (phone, tablet, another screen) need remote control active every session. Having to walk to the terminal and type /remote-control each time defeats the purpose of the feature.
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200
- Claude Code: latest (CLI)
