Rating prompt: AZERTY keyboard users cannot type digit keys without Shift

Description

On AZERTY keyboards (French/Belgian layout), number keys require Shift to produce digits. The unshifted character on the physical 3 key is ", not 3.

When Claude Code displays a rating prompt (e.g. 1–5 scale for session feedback), pressing the physical key without Shift sends " instead of 3, so the rating is not registered.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use a French or Belgian AZERTY keyboard
  2. When prompted for a session rating, press the physical key that corresponds to the intended digit (e.g. 3 for "Good")
  3. Without Shift, the character sent is " — the rating is ignored or misread

Expected behavior

Claude Code should accept both the shifted (3) and unshifted (") variants of the same physical key, since they map to the same position on all AZERTY layouts.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Keyboard layout: AZERTY (Belgian/French)
  • Claude Code CLI
