[2.1.83+] Korean IME toggle key outputs [57358u in input area (regression from 2.1.81)
Resolved 💬 6 comments Opened Mar 26, 2026 by jayden190 Closed Apr 18, 2026
Bug Description
When pressing the Korean IME toggle key (한/영 or Caps Lock configured for Korean input switching) in the Claude Code input area, the raw escape sequence [57358u is printed instead of switching the input method silently.
Environment
- OS: macOS
- Terminal: VSCode integrated terminal
- Claude Code version with bug: 2.1.83, 2.1.84
- Claude Code version without bug: 2.1.81 (confirmed working)
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Code in VSCode integrated terminal
- Press the Korean IME toggle key (한/영 key or Caps Lock remapped for Korean input)
- Observe
[57358ubeing printed in the input area
Expected Behavior
The IME toggle key should switch the input method without printing any characters.
Actual Behavior
[57358u is printed in the input field every time the key is pressed.
Additional Context
- The issue started appearing after Claude Code auto-updated from 2.1.81 → 2.1.83
- Existing sessions that were opened before the update (running 2.1.81) work correctly
- New sessions (running 2.1.83+) reproduce the issue consistently
- Other users on the same version may not have encountered it yet (haven't opened new sessions)
