Preflight Checklist

[x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
[x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
[x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

I run /permissions
Press twice the right arrow to select "Deny"
Press <kbd>Enter</kbd> to "Add a new rule..."
Start typing Bash(ansible-playbook:*) but just as I type the n letter, it exits the dialog. Typing n right away has the same effect

What Should Happen?

It should let me enter the command without exiting the dialog unless I press <kbd>Esc</kbd>.

Steps to Reproduce

Type /permissions and <kbd>Enter</kbd>
Press <kbd>Enter</kbd> to "Add a new rule..." (the bug happens with any permission type: Allow/Ask/Deny/Workspace)

Additional Report - Same Issue on Different Environment

I'm experiencing the same issue with the letter "n" not being typeable in the marketplace search.

### Environment Details
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Claude Code Version | 2.1.9 |
| Platform | macOS (Darwin 24.6.0) |
| Terminal | Terminal.app (macOS) |
| Claude Model | Opus |
| API | Anthropic API |

### Steps to Reproduce

Run /plugin command in Claude Code
Navigate to the marketplace search
Attempt to type a search query containing the letter "n" (e.g., "anthropics/skills")
The letter "n" is not entered into the search field

### Observed Behavior
The letter "n" appears to be captured by a keybinding (possibly for navigation like "next item") instead of being entered as text input.

### Workaround

Copy-paste plugin names that contain "n"
Use CLI commands instead of interactive search (e.g., claude plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills)
