Sending the Selection to the Terminal or Claude Code

Inserts the paths of the files and folders you selected into the built-in terminal. Both entries live under More ▶ in the context menu.

  • Send selection to Claude: Inserts the selected paths into the input field of Claude Code running in the built-in terminal. Paths are written relative to the terminal's working directory, one per line; anything outside it falls back to an absolute path.

  • Insert selection paths into the terminal: Inserts the paths into a plain terminal prompt instead. These are absolute, separated by spaces, and only paths containing spaces are wrapped in double quotes.

  • It only inserts — it never runs anything. Adding your instructions and pressing Enter is your own action. File changes Claude makes cannot be undone with Ctrl+Z, because they fall outside the app's undo history. A notification says so each time you insert.

  • Where it goes: The terminal in the pane you are working in is preferred; if that one is closed, the navigation pane's terminal is used instead. If neither is open, the app simply tells you to open one — it never opens a terminal on its own.

  • Large selections: Beyond 100 items the path list is written to a file and only that file's path is inserted, so the input field does not become unmanageable. The file goes under the app's data folder and older ones are cleaned up automatically.
