Claude Code weighs killing plan mode for shift+tab effort levels; community pushes back
mattpocockuk · x · 2026-09-24
A Claude Code team member is asking users for feedback on removing plan mode, replacing it with a shift+tab hotkey to adjust effort levels, arguing "models don't need plan mode anymore." Matt Pocock countered that planning should stay a userland concern—custom to each task, org, and person—rather than a mandated mode, which would keep both users and maintainers happier. A telling debate on agent UX as models get stronger.
