For Apple's Terminal.app, the wording changed.\n\n- The `\/terminal-setup` description for Apple Terminal now mentions turning on \"Use Option as Meta key\".\n\n- The first-run terminal-setup prompt now explains that Terminal.app setting. It also says: \"If you say yes, restart Terminal.app for the changes to take effect.\" Before, it showed a one-line label, \"Option+Enter for newlines\".\n\nSeparately, messages shown when a session is removed now say \"removed\" instead of \"deleted\". For example, \"Session deleted and its worktree removed\" now reads \"Session removed and its worktree deleted\".\n\n**Why**\n\nYou now see what the setup will change in Terminal.app, and that you need to restart Terminal.app before it takes effect.\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"}
