Cmd. /config

Open settings or apply direct key/value settings (/settings).

Written and reviewed by Eric Han · Co-founder & CTO, reopt

Key takeaways

  • Open settings or apply direct key/value settings (/settings).
  • Check the input surface and availability before using the examples below.

Purpose

Open settings or apply direct key/value settings (/settings).

/config [key=value ...]

The installed command menu and account or organization settings determine availability.

Examples

/config

Effects and persistence

Changes the selected settings at their supported scope. Options requiring confirmation must be handled in the settings interface.

Recent settings: maxProseWidth (v2.1.282+) caps the width of Claude's prose in wide terminals while tables and code blocks keep the full width. "attribution": false (v2.1.281+) hides all commit and PR attribution; older CLI versions skip a settings file that contains it, so keep the object form in files shared across versions.

From v2.1.302, use the Idle compaction row to disable or re-enable idle compaction; the persisted setting is idleCompaction.

Changelog.

Cautions

Use /config --help for supported inline settings. Options requiring confirmation must be changed through Settings. From v2.1.285, /config chrome=true directs you to the /config panel instead of enabling Claude in Chrome by default; /config chrome=false still turns it off. From v2.1.287, settings that cycle show ‹ › and step both ways with ←/→.
