What's Wrong?

When I run claude.exe out of a Windows Command CLI (cmd.exe), I cannot use any of the shortcut keys (<ctrl>+<V>, <shift>+<insert>, <alt>+<V>, <shift>+<V>, etc.) to paste clipboard contents into the Claude CLI. Only right-clicking works.

Also, the Windows shortcut key of <Alt>+<Space> to open the windows control box menu (Restore, Minimize, Maximize, Close, Size, etc.) does not work while in the claude CLI.

If I exit the claude CLI back to the cmd.exe CLI, all the shortcut keys work as expected.

Environment:

• OS: Windows 11 Enterprise
• chcp: Active code page: 437 (Claude recommended I include this in the bug report)
• Windows CLI: ~\Windows\System32\cmd.exe, product version 10.0.22621.6133
• Windows CLI Settings:

• Claude settings:
• $user/.claude/keybindings.json does not exist
• version: 2.1.47 (Claude Code)
