What's Wrong?
Pressing CTRL+TAB to switch tabs in the macOS terminal, when no other tabs exist, will toggle thinking mode. This is an oopsie I make like 5 times a day. It's moderately annoying that it accidentally also toggles thinking off! I almost always want it on.
What Should Happen?
Claude code ignores the CTRL+TAB (⎈+↹) combination, responding only to TAB (↹)
