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

  1. Navigate to any project directory
  2. Run /resume
  3. 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").

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.
