[DOCS] Interactive mode docs omit `Ctrl+E` line-end shortcut for multiline prompts
Documentation Type

Section/Topic
Text editing keyboard shortcuts for prompt input
Current Documentation
The Text editing table currently says:
|Ctrl+K| Delete to end of line | Stores deleted text for pasting | |Ctrl+U| Delete from cursor to line start | Stores deleted text for pasting. Repeat to clear across lines in multiline input | |Ctrl+Y| Paste deleted text | Paste text deleted withCtrl+KorCtrl+U| |Alt+B| Move cursor back one word | Word navigation. Requires [Option as Meta](#keyboard-shortcuts) on macOS | |Alt+F| Move cursor forward one word | Word navigation. Requires [Option as Meta](#keyboard-shortcuts) on macOS |
There is no corresponding row that documents Ctrl+E for chat input or multiline prompt editing.
What's Wrong or Missing?
Changelog v2.1.92 says:
Fixed ctrl+e jumping to the end of the next line when already at end of line in multiline prompts
That changelog entry confirms Ctrl+E is a supported prompt-editing shortcut, but the interactive mode docs do not explain what it does or how it behaves in multiline prompts.
As a result, users have no official keyboard-shortcut reference telling them that Ctrl+E should move to the end of the current line in prompt input.
Suggested Improvement
Add a Ctrl+E row to the Text editing table on https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode.
At minimum, document that Ctrl+E moves the cursor to the end of the current line in chat input, including multiline prompts.
Suggested table entry:
| Ctrl+E | Move cursor to end of current line | Works in prompt input, including multiline prompts |
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
