Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/discover-plugins

Section/Topic

/plugin navigation in the "Browse available plugins" and "Manage installed plugins" sections

Current Documentation

The docs currently say:

Run /plugin to open the plugin manager. This opens a tabbed interface with four tabs you can cycle through using Tab (or Shift+Tab to go backward): Discover: browse available plugins from all your marketplaces Installed: view and manage your installed plugins Marketplaces: add, remove, or update your added marketplaces Errors: view any plugin loading errors

Later, the page says:

From the list you can: press f to favorite or unfavorite the selected plugin type to filter by plugin name or description * press Enter to open a plugin's detail view and enable, disable, or uninstall it

What's Wrong or Missing?

Claude Code v2.1.141 added more plugin-manager navigation paths, but this page still documents only Tab/Shift+Tab, typing to filter, and Enter.

The page does not mention that:

  • can also switch tabs
  • moves focus from a list back to the tab strip
  • in fullscreen mode, tab headers and the search box are clickable

That leaves the fullscreen /plugin UI under-documented for users who rely on arrow keys or mouse navigation.

Suggested Improvement

Add a short navigation note anywhere the /plugin UI is introduced, for example:

In fullscreen mode, you can switch tabs with Tab, Shift+Tab, or . Press to move focus from a list back to the tab strip. You can also click tab headers and the search box.

If these controls apply only to specific plugin views, call out which tabs support them.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
