188188The VS Code extension and the Desktop app also have an auto-connect toggle:
189189
190190* **VS Code extension**: **Enable Remote Control for all sessions** in the [command menu's](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/vs-code.md#use-the-prompt-box) Settings section.
191* **Desktop app**: **Settings > Claude Code > Connect new sessions to Remote Control**. See [Control which sessions appear on your other devices](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/desktop.md#control-which-sessions-appear-on-your-other-devices).
191* **Desktop app**: **Connect new sessions to Remote Control** in **Settings > Code** or **Settings > Claude Code**. See [Control which sessions appear on your other devices](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/desktop.md#control-which-sessions-appear-on-your-other-devices).
192192
193193To turn auto-connect on from a settings file instead, set [`remoteControlAtStartup`](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings-reference#remotecontrolatstartup) to `true` in your user `~/.claude/settings.json` or in [managed settings](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/managed-settings.md). In project or local settings (`.claude/settings.json`, `.claude/settings.local.json`), Claude Code honors a `false` and turns auto-connect off for that repository, but ignores a `true`, so a checked-in file can't turn on Remote Control for everyone who opens the repository.

359359 * Text-output commands: `/compact`, `/clear`, `/context`, `/usage`, `/exit`, `/usage-credits`, `/recap`, and `/reload-plugins`. `/usage-credits` prints the billing URL instead of opening a browser. `/reload-plugins` works only when the session runs in an interactive terminal; a session without one declines it.
360360 * `/model`, `/effort`, `/fast`, `/color`, and `/rename`: pass the value as an argument, for example `/model sonnet` or `/effort high`. From mobile and web, `/model` and `/effort` take the argument in place of the terminal picker or slider.
361361 * `/mcp`: from the mobile app, returns a text summary of server status instead of opening the picker. On the web, `/mcp` on its own opens a directory of [claude.ai connectors](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp.md#use-mcp-servers-from-claude-ai) instead of returning the summary. The `reconnect`, `enable`, and `disable` [subcommands](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/commands.md#all-commands) work from both when the session runs in an interactive terminal. `/mcp reconnect` with no server name retries every server that has failed or needs authentication. To authorize a claude.ai connector without the picker, see [Authorize a connector again from your shell](#authorize-a-connector-again-from-your-shell).
362 * `/config`: from the mobile app, pass `key=value` to set a setting, or run it with no argument to list the keys you can set. On the web, `/config` opens the Claude Code section of your settings instead.
362 * `/config`: from the mobile app, pass `key=value` to set a setting, or run it with no argument to list the keys you can set. On the web, `/config` opens **Settings > Code** or **Settings > Claude Code** instead.
363363 * On Team and Enterprise, `/usage-credits` from mobile or web doesn't send a [usage-credits request to your admin](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/costs.md#add-usage-credits-to-your-subscription). Sending requires a confirmation that appears only in the interactive CLI, so the command tells you to run it there instead.
364364 * `/autocompact`, from v2.1.221: pass the window size as an argument, for example `/autocompact 500k`. With no argument, it prints the current window size as text instead of opening the dialog the command shows in a terminal session.
365365 * `/advisor`, from v2.1.260: pass the model as an argument, for example `/advisor opus`, or pass `off` to turn the advisor off. Both forms apply to the current session only and leave your saved default unchanged. With no argument, it prints the current advisor as text instead of opening the picker.
