UX: /resume should distinguish between favorites (named sessions) and full history
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 8, 2026 by tunaaydin-mm Closed Apr 12, 2026
Description
The in-session /resume slash command silently filters to only show named sessions (those with a custom-title or agent-name). When no named sessions exist, it falls back to showing all sessions. This creates confusing behavior where sessions seem to disappear.
Current behavior
- 0 named sessions →
/resumeshows all sessions - 1+ named sessions →
/resumeshows only named sessions - No indication that filtering is happening
claude --resumefrom terminal always shows all sessions
Suggestion
Make the in-session /resume picker explicit about the two modes:
- Favorites / named sessions — quick access to renamed or agent-named sessions
- Full history — all sessions, like
claude --resumefrom terminal
Either show both sections in the picker, or add a keyboard shortcut to toggle between them (similar to how claude --resume has Ctrl+B to toggle branch filtering).
Environment
- Claude Code CLI (terminal)
- macOS
