Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jan 10, 2026 by mbinde Closed Jan 14, 2026
Description
Ctrl+Z no longer suspends Claude Code as of version 2.1.0. The process remains in the foreground instead of suspending.
Steps to Reproduce
- Launch Claude Code 2.1.0+
- Press Ctrl+Z
- Process remains in foreground (expected: suspend and return to shell)
Environment
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.0.0)
- Terminal: iTerm2
- Claude Code version: 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3 (all affected)
- Last working version: 2.0.9
Additional Context
- Ctrl+Z works correctly in other applications (e.g., emacs) in the same terminal session
- Terminal stty settings are correct (
susp = ^Z) - This is a regression from the fix implemented for issue #588
