Description
When enabling voice mode with /voice, the prompt says "Hold Space to record," but pressing the space bar just types a space character. No recording is triggered.
Environment
- OS: macOS 26.3.1 (Darwin 25.3.0)
- Claude Code: v2.1.72
- Node.js: v22.22.0
- Shell: zsh
Reproduction
- Run
claudein terminal - Type
/voiceto enable voice mode - Press and hold the space bar
- Space character is typed instead of recording being triggered
Additional Context
- Tested in both Terminal.app and Cursor's integrated terminal — same behavior in both
- Claude Code runs in a Node.js process — unclear if the terminal type or Node runtime affects key capture
