What's Wrong?

Platform: Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200)
Claude Code: Desktop app (Windows)

Bug:
The permission approval dialog displays the Mac Command key shortcut ⌘↵ on Windows. It should display Ctrl+Enter.

The correct key (Ctrl+Enter) still works — the label is wrong, not the binding. This appears to be a platform detection regression; earlier versions of Claude Code displayed the correct Windows shortcut.

Screenshot: attached

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Run Claude Code on Windows 11
  2. Trigger any action that requires approval (e.g. a file edit)
  3. Observe the "Allow once" button shows ⌘↵ instead of Ctrl+Enter

What Should Happen?

Ctrl + Enter should be the prompted button input
