Dev Shortcuts — Local WP Add-on

A Local WP add-on that gives you quick developer shortcuts — open a terminal, launch Claude Code, copy folder paths, or reveal folders in Finder — all from within Local's site interface.

Demo

Features

• Open Terminal — Open any WordPress folder in your preferred terminal (Ghostty > iTerm > Terminal.app on macOS)
• Claude Code — Launch Claude Code in a new terminal window at any site folder
• Copy Path — Copy the full path of any WordPress folder to your clipboard
• Reveal in Finder — Open the selected folder in Finder / Explorer / file manager
