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
/keybindingscommand is not available over Remote Control- No
keybindings.jsonexists on either machine - This appears to be a bug in the Remote Control input layer in the Code tab
