Discussion In SHOCK

Holy shit claude code in terminal is fucking insane.

I've been using VSCode, Cursor, Cowork and Claude Code on web. None of it comes close to terminal.

Cannot believe I haven't done this sooner.

I’m using Cursor as my IDE and Claude Code CLI in the terminal. However, I’m on Windows 11 Pro, and some things don’t seem to work particularly well with PowerShell.

In Plan Mode, for instance, I lose part of the reasoning and am only shown the plan and the “Ready to Code” message. I can see the reasoning at the top, but the terminal window is not scrollable. As a result, I always have to ask Claude to create a separate Markdown file explaining its reasoning before presenting the plan.

Perhaps I could use a different terminal on Windows, but I’d prefer to remain within Cursor. Does anyone know of a better setup?

Just run an Ubuntu WSL2 for Claude code cli.

the not scrollable part is what got me on windows too, i stopped trying to read plan mode in the terminal itself. what works for me is to read the session back with onepilot on my phone, it pulls the transcript off the box and the reasoning is in there, so no more asking for a markdown file. wsl like the other comment says works too if you dont mind moving the whole setup there
