What happens
In the Claude Code desktop app, the slash command menu does not appear when I type / after I have already typed other text in the chat input.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the Claude Code desktop app.
- Click in the chat input box.
- Type some text, for example
please run. - Type
/. - No slash command menu appears.
Expected
The slash command list opens and filters as I keep typing, the same way it does when / is the first character in an empty input.
Actual
Nothing opens. The / is inserted as plain text only.
Notes
- With an empty input box, typing
/first works correctly. - This worked in an earlier version.
Environment
- Claude Code 2.1.236
- Desktop app on macOS 26.6.2
