Claude Code has a tip for this case.\n\nThat tip now carries a short hint line. Depending on how your terminal is set up, it reads either \"set Option as Meta to use \u2026\" or \"`\/terminal-setup` to use \u2026\". `\/terminal-setup` is a Claude Code command that adjusts your terminal settings.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you press a Meta shortcut before your terminal is set up for it, the hint tells you what to do next.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
