Anthropic weighs killing Claude Code plan mode, repurposing Shift+Tab for effort levels
benstein · x · 2026-09-24
- An Anthropic team member said they're considering removing Claude Code's plan mode and repurposing the Shift+Tab hotkey to adjust effort levels, arguing models no longer need plan mode.
- Developer benstein pushed back: effort levels are hard to intuit for any given task, and model-auto-selected effort may make the hotkey moot anyway.
- Anthropic is openly soliciting feedback from plan mode holdouts.
