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
