WHY THIS MATTERS: The docs previously implied
/config key=valueworks everywhere, but it doesn't — onclaude.ai/codeand in the Desktop Code tab,/configopens the Settings UI instead of setting values, and any text after the command (includingkey=valuepairs) is silently ignored. Only the mobile app via Remote Control actually acceptskey=value. This correction matters because users who try/config theme=darkin a cloud session or Desktop will wonder why nothing happened. The fix also adds guidance: use environment variables or committed settings files to configure cloud sessions instead.HIGHLIGHTS:
/configon web (claude.ai/code): opens Settings → Claude Code;key=valuearguments are ignored — use env vars or settings files in the repo instead/configin Desktop Code tab: same — opens Settings → Claude Code, text after command is ignored; only the picker form was unavailable before, now thekey=valueform is also clarified as a no-op/configon mobile (Remote Control): still works as before — passkey=valueto set a setting, or run with no argument to list settable keys/commands.md: minor wording fix — "Remote Control" clarified as "Claude mobile app via Remote Control"Created by night-shift claude-yolo
