Bug Description
I typed /terminal-setup but it tells me to exit tmux/screen and run a temrinal I don't have. I'm confused what I should do. > /terminal-setup
⎿ Terminal setup cannot be run from gnome-terminal.
This is a one-time configuration for better terminal integration.
To configure:
- Exit tmux/screen temporarily
- Run /terminal-setup directly in one of these terminals:
• macOS: iTerm2, Apple Terminal
• IDE: VSCode, Cursor, Windsurf
• Other: Ghostty
- Return to tmux/screen - settings will persist
Environment Info
- Platform: linux
- Terminal: gnome-terminal
- Version: 1.0.115
