[BUG] Ctrl+C, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+V shortcuts not working with Russian keyboard layout
Description
Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+V) stopped working when the Russian keyboard layout is active. These shortcuts worked correctly in previous versions of Claude Code.
Affected shortcuts
- Ctrl+C - cancel/clear input (not working with Russian layout)
- Ctrl+U - clear line (not working with Russian layout)
- Ctrl+V - paste image (not working with Russian layout)
All shortcuts work correctly when switched to English layout.
Expected behavior
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+V should work regardless of the active keyboard layout (Russian or English), as they did in previous versions.
Actual behavior
When Russian keyboard layout is active:
- Pressing Ctrl+C does nothing
- Pressing Ctrl+U does nothing
- Pressing Ctrl+V does not paste images
Switching to English layout makes all shortcuts work again.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.12
- OS: macOS 15.2 (Darwin 25.2.0, arm64)
- Terminal: iTerm.app
- Keyboard layouts: English + Russian
Reproduction steps
- Start Claude Code in terminal
- Switch to Russian keyboard layout
- Type some text
- Try pressing Ctrl+C to cancel - nothing happens
- Try pressing Ctrl+U to clear line - nothing happens
- Try pressing Ctrl+V to paste image - nothing happens
- Switch to English layout
- Same shortcuts now work correctly

This appears to be a regression - these shortcuts previously worked with Russian keyboard layout.
