Description

When using Claude Desktop (Windows) Code tab connected to an Ubuntu machine via Remote Control, pressing Enter does not send the message. It appears to add a newline or do nothing. The send button must be clicked manually.

Workaround

Ctrl+Enter sends successfully. Shift+Enter and plain Enter do not.

Environment

  • Claude Desktop on Windows (Code tab)
  • Connected via Remote Control to Ubuntu
  • Ubuntu running claude --remote-control

Expected behavior

Enter should send the message (as per default chat:submit keybinding).

Actual behavior

Enter does not send. Only Ctrl+Enter works.

Notes

  • /keybindings command is not available over Remote Control
  • No keybindings.json exists on either machine
  • This appears to be a bug in the Remote Control input layer in the Code tab
