Regression: slash command autocomplete no longer triggers mid-input (worked per v2.1.0, fixed once in v2.1.136)
Environment
- Claude Code Desktop app, Windows 10 (10.0.19045)
claude --version: 2.1.228 (Claude Code)
Description
Slash command autocomplete only appears when / is the very first character of the input. Typing a second slash command later in the same message — e.g. /skill-a /ski — shows no suggestion menu and no highlighting for the second token. Restarting the app does not help.
Expected behavior
Per the changelog, mid-input autocomplete is a supported feature:
- v2.1.0: "Added slash command autocomplete support when \"/\" appears anywhere in input, not just at the beginning"
- v2.1.136: "Fixed mid-input slash command autocomplete not working after an initial slash command"
So the suggestion menu should appear for a / typed anywhere in the input — especially in the stacked-skill position (/skill-a /skill-b …, supported since v2.1.199), where the second name currently has to be typed blind.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Claude Code Desktop 2.1.228, focus the chat input.
- Type
/— the autocomplete menu appears (works). - Complete a skill name (e.g.
/my-skill), add a space, then type/followed by a prefix of another skill name. - No autocomplete menu appears; the second token renders as plain text.
Observed both immediately after the first slash command (stacked-skill position) and after intervening words. Reproduces consistently, including after a full app restart.
