claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [DOCS] Not everyone is using a MAC! Some people use Linux (or even Windows) [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Update the VS Code documentation to include Windows and Linux-specific settings and commands, rather than only Mac-oriented instructions.

Guidance

• Review the current documentation and identify all instances of Mac-specific instructions that need to be updated for Windows and Linux users.
• Consider adding a section or note for non-Mac users, providing alternative settings and commands, such as suggesting "terminal.integrated.sendKeybindingsToShell": true instead of "terminal.integrated.macOptionIsMeta": true.
• Update the notification bell advice to be relevant for VS Code on Windows and Linux, such as enabling "terminal.integrated.enableVisualBell": true.
• Replace terminal-specific references (e.g., "iTerm2, Ghostty, or Kitty") with more general language (e.g., "the Terminal").

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to documentation updates.

Notes

The suggested improvements are based on the assumption that the documentation is intended to support multiple platforms, including Windows and Linux. It is essential to involve non-Mac users in the testing and review process to ensure the documentation is accurate and relevant for all users.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the documentation to include platform-specific instructions and settings for Windows and Linux users, as suggested in the issue. This will help prevent users from being unable to use the feature due to outdated or incorrect documentation.
