Title: Feature Documentation Request: Background Commands and Process Management

Labels: documentation, enhancement

Body:

Hi Claude Code Team,

The "Background commands" feature introduced in v1.0.71 is a fantastic addition, but it's currently undocumented on the official documentation site.

Adding official documentation would help users discover and properly utilize what appears to be a comprehensive feature set for background process management.

Based on the changelog and other available information, the documentation should cover:

  • The interactive Ctrl+B shortcut for running background commands.
  • The run_in_background parameter for the Bash tool.
  • The new BashOutput and KillBash tools for monitoring and terminating background processes.
  • The new /bashes slash command for listing active processes.

This new functionality would be a great fit for a new "Common Workflows" section and would also require updates to the documentation for keyboard shortcuts, slash commands, and the list of available tools.

Thanks for your consideration
