WezTerm requirement breaks clipboard with Windows applications (CRLF handling)

Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Oct 24, 2025 by sinasan Closed Jan 12, 2026

When pasting text from Windows applications (via Citrix/RDP) into WezTerm on Linux, extra blank lines are inserted after every line. This makes copy-paste unusable.

Details:

  • Windows applications use CRLF (\r\n) line endings
  • WezTerm adds an extra newline for each line when pasting
  • Other terminals (Terminator, xterm) handle the same clipboard correctly
  • canonicalize_pasted_newlines = "LineFeed" config option does not fix the issue
  • WezTerm version: 20240203-110809-5046fc22 (latest available release)
  • Related WezTerm issue: wezterm/wezterm#7022

Request:
Please either:

  1. Provide an alternative terminal option for Claude Code, or
  2. Work with WezTerm to fix CRLF handling

This makes Claude Code unusable in environments where Windows clipboard integration is needed.
