[BUG] Ctrl+Insert copy stopped working in terminal after update to ~2.1.169

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
• [x] This is a single bug report

Environment

• Claude Code Version: 2.1.169
• OS: Windows 10 x64, Build 18363 (version 1909)
• Terminal: Windows PowerShell (legacy) and Windows Terminal
• Installation method: Native installer

What's Wrong?

Copying text from Claude Code terminal output using Ctrl+Insert stopped working approximately 5 days ago. This shortcut worked correctly before the recent update.

Current behavior:

• Ctrl+Insert does nothing — text is not copied to clipboard
• Ctrl+C does not copy (expected, as it interrupts the process)
• Ctrl+Shift+C does not copy
• Right-click → Copy does not copy
• Mouse selection + Ctrl+Insert does not copy
• The only workaround that partially works is holding Shift while selecting text, then pasting with Shift+Insert

Expected behavior:

• Select text with mouse → Ctrl+Insert should copy selected text to clipboard
• This worked correctly before the update to ~2.1.169

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open PowerShell or Windows Terminal
2. Launch claude
3. Wait for any response from Claude Code
4. Try to select text with mouse
5. Press Ctrl+Insert
6. Nothing is copied to clipboard

Additional Context

Claude Code appears to capture mouse events and place the terminal in raw mode, which interferes with standard text selection and copy shortcuts. This behavior was not present before the recent update.

Attempted workarounds that did NOT help:

• Switching from legacy PowerShell to Windows Terminal
• Setting "Copy on select" to false in /settings
• Downgrading to 2.1.168 via npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.1.168 - NO WORKING!!!

The issue affects daily workflow significantly as copying Claude's output is a core part of the development process.

What Should Happen?

Select text with mouse → press Ctrl+Insert → text should be copied to clipboard. This worked correctly before the update to version ~2.1.169.
