Please make /quit an alias of /exit #357
Description
Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Using /quit is out of habit from years of CLI usage and it costs me a request every time I use it
Proposed solution
Claude Code has an alias for it too. So not matter what the person is used to, it will exit.

A good alternative to this could be not sending any message that starts with
/as a promptEvanBoyle commentedon Oct 20, 2025
I just opened a PR to add a command aliasing system to the CLI + an alias for
/quit->/exit.Treating all messages that start with
/as slash commands could be problematic, since this would also match anyone pasting in unix-like paths at the beginning of their message. If you feel strongly about this @SwanX1 please do open a separate issue as this one will get closed out when my PR merges.RyanHecht commentedon Oct 22, 2025
The alias is implemented in 0.0.349!
