[DOCS] Interactive mode keybindings missing Ctrl+F shortcut to terminate background agents

Documentation Type

Incorrect/outdated documentation

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode

Section/Topic

Keyboard shortcuts table and background task controls.

Current Documentation

The keybindings and background task sections currently emphasize Ctrl+B backgrounding:

Ctrl+B | Background running tasks | Backgrounds bash commands and agents.

Press Ctrl+B to move a regular Bash tool invocation to the background.

There is no Ctrl+F entry for terminating background agents.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Claude Code v2.1.49 added a Ctrl+F keybinding to terminate background agents with two-press confirmation.

The interactive docs do not describe this control, so users lack official guidance for stopping background agents quickly and safely.

Suggested Improvement

Update interactive-mode docs to include:

• Ctrl+F keybinding purpose,
• two-press confirmation behavior/timing,
• distinction between backgrounding (Ctrl+B) and terminating background agents (Ctrl+F).

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
