Windows: Button keyboard shortcut hints show macOS icons instead of Windows equivalents
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 15, 2026 by BrianAmadori Closed Apr 15, 2026
Description
On Windows, all buttons that display keyboard shortcut hints show macOS-style modifier key icons instead of the correct Windows equivalents.
Examples observed:
- "Allow once" button shows
⌘⇧↵instead ofCtrl+Shift+Enter - "Always allow" button shows
⌘↵instead ofCtrl+Enter - "Revise" button (shown after a plan completes) exhibits the same issue
This affects all shortcut-annotated buttons throughout the app — it is not limited to a specific view or action.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Desktop on Windows
- Trigger any prompt that shows action buttons with keyboard shortcut hints (e.g. a tool permission dialog, or finish a plan to see the "Revise" button)
- Observe the keyboard shortcut icons displayed alongside the button labels
Expected Behavior
Shortcut hints should use Windows-appropriate key symbols:
Ctrlinstead of⌘Shiftinstead of⇧Enterinstead of↵(or keep the arrow, but pair it withCtrl/Shiftlabels)
Actual Behavior
macOS Command (⌘) and Shift (⇧) glyphs are shown verbatim on Windows, where these keys do not exist.
