What's Wrong?
When the Claude Code tab has focus in the JetBrains terminal panel, keyboard shortcuts for switching between terminal tabs (Ctrl+PgUp / Ctrl+PgDown) are captured by the Claude Code component and do not propagate to the IDE. All other terminal tabs (including third-party plugin terminals) correctly allow these shortcuts to switch tabs.
What Should Happen?
Ctrl+PgUp / Ctrl+PgDown should switch between terminal tabs regardless of which tab has focus, as they do for all other terminal tab types.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open CLion (or any JetBrains IDE) with the Claude Code plugin installed
- Have multiple terminal tabs open (e.g. a regular shell, Claude Code)
- Focus a regular terminal tab and press Ctrl+PgDown — tab switches as expected
- Focus the Claude Code tab
- Press Ctrl+PgUp or Ctrl+PgDown — nothing happens; the shortcut is swallowed
