Switching between plan mode and normal mode doesn't require a slash command — just hit Shift+Tab.
Shift+Tab → Toggle plan mode on/off
This is incredibly useful when you're mid-conversation and realise the task is more complex than you initially thought. Instead of typing /plan or starting over, you just tap the shortcut and Claude switches to architect mode — researching, designing, and laying out a strategy before touching any code.
When plan mode is active, Claude will:
- Analyse the codebase and relevant files
- Propose a step-by-step approach
- Wait for your approval before making changes
Hit Shift+Tab again to drop back into normal execution mode once you've approved the plan.
A solid workflow looks like this:
- Start typing your task normally
- Realise it's going to touch multiple files →
Shift+Tab - Review Claude's plan, tweak if needed
- Approve →
Shift+Tabback to normal mode - Claude executes with confidence
Shift+Tab is the fastest way to make Claude think before it acts.
