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