What's Wrong?
The keyboard shortcuts cmd+delete (delete to start of line) and option+delete
(delete previous word) no longer work in the Claude Code chat input field.
These shortcuts previously worked and stopped working at some point recently.
- cmd+delete: should delete from cursor to beginning of line — does nothing
- option+delete: should delete the previous word — does nothing
Confirmed the shortcuts work correctly in Warp itself (e.g. in a shell prompt),
so this is not a terminal/Warp issue. The key sequences are being passed through
to Claude Code but not handled.
Version: 2.1.170
Platform: macOS, Warp terminal
What Should Happen?
- Expected: Previous word / line deleted
- Actual: Nothing happens
