What's Wrong?

Bug Description

"Esc to cancel" wording is misleading when the user has been adjusting permissions (the same probably applies to a number of TUI states in Claude Code).

In this particular scenario at least, Esc does not revert or roll back any changes made by the user, as it shouldn't, but the wording strongly implies such.

The poor choice of wording requires the user to perform extra steps to double-check and ensure that their modifications have indeed been successfully applied and persisted. Consider rather "Esc to go back", "Esc to navigate back", "Esc to return", "Esc to close", "Esc to close \<current-view\>", or something along those lines, to clearly indicate that nothing is being _cancelled_.

Environment Info

• Platform: darwin
• Terminal: tmux
• Version: 2.0.75
• Feedback ID: 255ae9e9-1362-4a96-bca2-d23bd9b5a75d

What Should Happen?

Claude should better indicate when a particular keypress is used to specifically cancel/abort/roll back/revert an operation, and when it is used to acknowledge, close, hide, navigate to parent, etc.
