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.
