What it does

Cycle model and effort settings with configurable shortcuts. A footer indicates the settings for the next request, and preferences persist between sessions.

  • Model cycling
  • Effort cycling
  • Persistent per-model preferences

When this mod might be useful

Model Effort Shortcuts may help when you frequently switch model or effort settings between requests and prefer keyboard controls. The terminal’s handling of Meta keys matters to the setup. Confirm the required bindings and the author’s description of when a new setting takes effect before using the shortcuts in a long session.

Understanding this listing

Use this listing as a starting point for comparing the author’s documented behavior with your own workflow. The repository is the source of truth for installation, configuration, and later changes. The commands here reflect the setup available at the review date.

Before you try it

  • Installation also requires the keybindings configuration in the author’s README.
  • Your terminal must pass Meta key shortcuts to Claude Code.
