Windows desktop app shows ⌘ instead of Ctrl for keyboard shortcuts
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened May 2, 2026 by saitoko Closed May 6, 2026
Summary
On Windows, the Claude Code desktop app displays keyboard shortcuts using the ⌘ (Mac Command) symbol instead of Ctrl. This is incorrect for Windows users.
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 Pro
- App: Claude Code Desktop App
Expected behavior
Keyboard shortcuts should display Ctrl (or Win) on Windows, e.g. Ctrl+B.
Actual behavior
Shortcuts are displayed with the ⌘ symbol (Mac Command key), which does not exist on Windows keyboards and causes confusion.
