What's Wrong?
When I accidentally have my input language as Japanese and try to approve something in Claude, say:
Do you want to overwrite PLAN.md?
❯ 1. Yes
2. Yes, allow all edits during this session (shift+tab)
3. No
I'll press my keyboard's 1 key and it'll generate a fullwidth 1. The number shows up at the bottom of the command line, and it's confusing why exactly this happens.
What Should Happen?
I'm not sure if the right behavior is to accept it as 1 (hey, Perl 6 will accept roman numeral Ⅰ as a 1!), or diagnose the invalid input. But the current behavior seems surprising!
Error Messages/Logs
