Right-click context menu broken in Ghostty with CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1

Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Apr 3, 2026 by datlechin Closed May 28, 2026

When using Ghostty terminal with CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1 enabled, right-click no longer opens the terminal's native context menu. Without the flag, right-click works fine.

How it normally works (without the flag):

Right-click shows Ghostty's context menu — paste, split, reset terminal, etc.

With CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1:

Right-click does nothing. The context menu never appears.

Setup:

  • Terminal: Ghostty
  • OS: macOS
  • Env: CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1

Seems like whatever no-flicker mode does to the terminal output is swallowing the right-click event before Ghostty can handle it.
