Description
The /resume session picker now defaults to showing sessions from all projects instead of only the current directory.
Previously, /resume showed only sessions from the current directory by default — this behavior changed recently without a corresponding setting to control it.
Steps to reproduce
- Navigate to any project directory
- Run
/resume - Session picker shows all sessions across all projects (e.g.,
~/bin,~/MyDocs/ResearchDocs,~/Temp, etc.)
Expected behavior
/resume should default to showing sessions from the current directory only, as it did before.
Current workaround
Press Ctrl+A to toggle back to current directory view each time.
Feature request
Add a setting to control the default filter for /resume (e.g., resume.defaultScope: "current-directory" | "all").

I am having the same issue, it is frustrating

same issue : very problematic

bump. would also like this addressed. it's annoying to have to hit ctrl-B to filter by current directory every time. ideal scenario would be to have the previous behavior as the default and then hitting a command to switch to all sessions to resume from. either that or have a claude code configuration setting for desired behavior
this seems to be fixed. -- by default scoped to current directory
This was fixed in v2.1.108 — /resume now defaults to showing sessions from the current directory again; press Ctrl+A to widen to all projects. If you're still seeing this in the latest version, please comment with your version and repro and we'll reopen.
