[DOCS] `/config` keyboard docs still describe pre-v2.1.183 toggle and Esc behavior
Documentation Type
Incorrect/outdated documentation
Documentation Location
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/keybindings
Section/Topic
The Settings actions table in Keybindings, plus the introductory /config settings-interface description in Settings.
Current Documentation
The keybindings page currently says:
settings:close | Enter | Save changes and close the config panel. Escape discards changes and closes
The settings page currently says:
Claude Code offers a variety of settings to configure its behavior to meet your needs. You can configure Claude Code by running the /config command, which opens a tabbed Settings interface where you can view status information and modify configuration options.
What's Wrong or Missing?
A. The keybindings table now contradicts the released /config behavior in v2.1.183
The v2.1.183 changelog says:
Changed /config toggle behavior: Enter and Space both change the selected setting, and Esc now saves and closes instead of reverting
That directly conflicts with the current settings:close row, which still says Enter saves and closes the panel and Escape discards changes and closes. The stable keyboard reference is describing the pre-v2.1.183 behavior.
B. The new toggle shortcut is missing from stable docs
No stable page outside the changelog documents that Space also changes the selected setting in /config. The Settings actions table does not list any settings-toggle action at all, so users cannot discover the new Enter/Space behavior from the keyboard shortcuts reference.
C. The main /config entry point does not point readers to the updated controls
The Settings page introduces /config as a tabbed interface, but it does not tell readers where the interface's keyboard controls are documented. Because the dedicated shortcut table is outdated, the changelog is currently the only place with the correct interaction model.
Suggested Improvement
Update the Settings actions section in Keybindings so it matches the current /config behavior in v2.1.183:
Before:
settings:close | Enter | Save changes and close the config panel. Escape discards changes and closes
After:
Document that:
EnterandSpaceboth change the selected setting.Escsaves changes and closes the/configpanel instead of reverting.- The Settings page should link to the Keybindings
Settings actionssection, or include a short note telling readers where to find the/configkeyboard controls.
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
