Problem Statement

I find myself wanting to run several bash commands in a row. Often, I wind up asking claude the subsequent commands instead of running bash commands (I forget to type !).

Proposed Solution

I would like a setting which would keep the prompt in bash mode after running a command in bash mode, instead of going back to normal mode.

Alternative Solutions

The workaround I use currently is to hit Cmd+C when I send my bash commands to claude, but this seems suboptimal.

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Feature Category

Interactive mode (TUI)

Use Case Example

I want to explore my working directory.

  1. I type ! ls
  2. I type ls <some directory printed above>
  3. Claude says Beaming ... instead of me seeing the subdirectories
