Since the latest version 1.0.5 now supports windows natively. I was really happy to see this and installed it. Got it working, however I'm not sure how to get the Plan mode enabled? Shift+Tab doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know if there is another shortcut?

EDIT: Thanks to thingygeoff who responded in a anther thread. This fixed the issue! Updated my node version and it and now working. https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1lxu1p9/comment/n36syer/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Maybe you miss it:

Plan mode is a special operating mode in Claude Code that allows you to research, analyze, and create implementation plans without making any actual changes to your system or codebase.

What Plan Mode Does:

Research & Analysis Only:

• Read files and examine code

• Search through codebases

• Analyze project structure

• Gather information from web sources

• Review documentation

No System Changes:

• Cannot edit files

• Cannot run bash commands that modify anything

• Cannot create/delete files

• Cannot make git commits

• Cannot install packages or change configurations

When Plan Mode Activates:

Plan mode is typically activated when:

• You ask for planning or analysis before implementation

• You want to understand a codebase before making changes

• You request a detailed implementation strategy

• The system detects you want to plan before executing

How It Works:

1. Research Phase: I gather all necessary information using read-only tools

2. Plan Creation: I develop a comprehensive implementation plan

3. Plan Presentation: I use the exit_plan_mode tool to present the plan

4. User Approval: You review and approve the plan

5. Execution Phase: After approval, I can proceed with actual implementation

Benefits:

• Safety: Prevents accidental changes during exploration

• Thorough Planning: Ensures comprehensive analysis before implementation

• User Control: You approve exactly what will be done before it happens

• Better Outcomes: Well-planned implementations tend to be more successful

Hey guys!

I used Claude a lot these past days and as I noticed many users having issues with performance. I tried different variations on performing same tasks since I was also one of them ( I created a post here too )

After my "research" I concluded 1 simple rule:

ALWAYS BE IN PLAN MODE WHEN SENDING A MESSAGE TO CLAUDE.

Let Claude respond and create TODO checkboxes after you send it a prompt. Literally don't send messages to it if you are not in the Plan mode. It will get confused, lose track of whats doing if you send it a message on the fly. It is where everything collapses. It is when it starts to rush the solution...plan mode is the ultimate antidote that fixes almost all the problems.

I don't think it was like this a few weeks back, but then again I think most of started using Claude with planning and then accepting the changes after a detailed plan. We thought "WOW CRAZY". Then we stepped over the line and just kept adding commands while Claude was working midway on the fly to throw in the changes. This is the ultimate breaking point.

Even if you are in "Bypassing permissions" and you tell it to plan but don't code, it won't perform good...it gets lazy.

It sounds very simple, but PLAN MODE is truly magical.

EDIT: Forget what I said. With some new update, CC just became fully unusable. Can't do shit no matter the planning. I apologize.

When kicking off a session on Claude Code in a browser, is it possible to enter plan mode? I tried the shift+tab method that works in the CLI, but that doesn't seem to work? Any help would be much appreciated!
