[DOCS] Workflows docs missing backspace shortcut for dismissing workflow trigger keyword
Documentation Type
Missing documentation (feature not documented)
Documentation Location
https://code.claude.com/docs/en/workflows
Section/Topic
"Ask for a workflow in your prompt" section
Current Documentation
The docs currently say:
If Claude Code highlights the word when you didn't mean to trigger one, press alt+w to ignore it for this prompt.
What's Wrong or Missing?
As of v2.1.157, pressing backspace right after a workflow trigger keyword also dismisses the workflow request (same as alt+w). This shortcut is not documented. The docs only mention alt+w for dismissing a workflow trigger, but backspace is an alternative that users may discover accidentally and expect to find documented.
Suggested Improvement
After:
If Claude Code highlights the word when you didn't mean to trigger one, pressalt+worbackspaceto ignore it for this prompt.
Alternatively, add a separate sentence clarifying both methods:
If Claude Code highlights the word when you didn't mean to trigger one, pressalt+wto ignore it for this prompt. Pressingbackspaceimmediately after typing a workflow trigger keyword also dismisses the request.
Impact
Low - Minor confusion or inconvenience
