Alt+M mode cycling completely broken in v2.1.3 - cannot switch between any modes
Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Jan 11, 2026 by jamcam-me Closed Feb 4, 2026
Environment:
- Claude Code v2.1.3
- Windows 11
- VS Code integrated terminal
Expected Behavior:
Alt+M cycles through all three modes: Default → Agent (Edit) → Plan → Default
Actual Behavior:
Alt+M does nothing. Keyboard shortcut is completely unresponsive.
Reproduction Steps:
- Start Claude Code v2.1.3
- Press Alt+M - nothing happens (cannot enter Agent mode)
- Press Alt+M again - nothing happens (cannot enter Plan mode)
- If you enter a mode manually (e.g.,
/plan), Alt+M still does nothing - No keyboard method to cycle between modes
Regression:
- v2.1.2: Alt+M cycles through Default ↔ Agent ↔ Plan correctly
- v2.1.3: Alt+M completely non-functional
Impact:
- Cannot enter Agent (Edit) mode via keyboard
- Cannot enter Plan mode via keyboard
- Cannot exit any mode via keyboard once entered manually
- Mode switching requires slash commands only
