What's Wrong?

When the /status dialog is open and the Usage tab is selected, pressing ESC does not dismiss the dialog. The ESC key works correctly on the Status and Config tabs, but is unresponsive on the Usage tab despite the "Esc to cancel" hint shown at the bottom.

What Should Happen?

Pressing ESC should dismiss the /status dialog regardless of which tab (Status, Config, or Usage) is currently active.

Error Messages/Logs

No error messages.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code in terminal
  2. Type /status and press Enter
  3. The status dialog appears (defaults to Status tab)
  4. Switch to the Usage tab using arrow keys or Tab
  5. Press ESC
  6. Nothing happens — the dialog remains open
