What's Wrong?
/terminal-setup
⎿ Terminal setup cannot be run from windows-terminal.
This command configures a convenient Shift+Enter shortcut for multi-line prompts.
Note: You can already use backslash (\) + return to add newlines.
To set up the shortcut (optional):
- Exit tmux/screen temporarily
- Run /terminal-setup directly in one of these terminals:
• Windows: Windows Terminal
• IDE: VSCode, Cursor, Windsurf
• Other: Ghostty, WezTerm
- Return to tmux/screen - settings will persist
I'm on windows in Windows Powershell in the Windows Terminal. I guess it's ok if you don't support it but you don't seem to agree with yourself about whether you do. The initial error message says you don't but then under item 2 it says you do.
What Should Happen?
At least don't disagree with yourself, at most support terminal setup on windows terminal
