[DOCS] Interactive mode docs omit Cmd/Ctrl-click reveal-in-finder behavior for chat file attachments
Documentation Type
Missing documentation (feature not documented)
Documentation Location

Section/Topic
The chat input / file attachment area in the "General controls" table — currently no entry for the clickable attachment reveal shortcut.
Current Documentation
The page lists image-paste and related input controls in the "General controls" table:
Ctrl+VorCmd+V(iTerm2) orAlt+V(Windows and WSL) | Paste image from clipboard | Inserts an[Image #N]chip at the cursor so you can reference it positionally in your prompt. On WSL, bothCtrl+VandAlt+Vare bound; useAlt+Vif your terminal interceptsCtrl+V
The page does not document any behavior for revealing an existing attachment in the file system.
What's Wrong or Missing?
Claude Code v2.1.196 makes chat file attachments clickable: Cmd-click (macOS) or Ctrl-click (Windows/Linux) on an attachment reveals the underlying file in Finder (macOS) or File Explorer (Windows). The page covers image paste behavior, but it does not document how to reveal an attached file once it is present in the conversation. Users discovering the attachment later in a long conversation currently have no documented way to navigate to the original file without leaving Claude Code.
Suggested Improvement
Add a new row to the "General controls" table that documents the reveal-in-finder/explorer shortcut:
Cmd+click(macOS) orCtrl+click(Windows/Linux) | Reveal a file attachment in Finder or Explorer | On an attachment in the chat, opens the file in the operating system's file browser. On macOS this reveals it in Finder; on Windows this reveals it in File Explorer.
Also add a short paragraph in the "How to attach files" or equivalent input-section that explains what users should expect when they click an attachment.
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
