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.
