It also conflicts with zellij session actions. maybe let us customize keys?

Claude code is competing with my IDE for shortcuts. When I add a shortcut here, it's a long process of refinement to find something appropriate while avoiding system and IDE bindings. This is finger-memory that has been built up over decades of WM/IDE customisation, and there are very few shortcuts inside of prime real estate like ctrl+{anything} that are unused.
One of the primary issues of this type that I have, is that claude code takes over my escape key. Pressing escape should return focus to the editor (where I am editing text), and now it serves as a cancel button. This means I am constantly restarting the conversation, and then reaching for the mouse just like my grandmother used to do.
edit: I allowed my frustration to enter the text, I apologise.
I hit this issue as well, this should be configurable in settings.json.

This remains quite the annoyance.
Because the claude keybind is now ctrl+o, but Zellij uses ctrl+o for session management, I can never see the output of a running command
Make
ctrl+rgreat again.Just let us set bindings. When I create a simple app with Claude Code, the first thing it does is recommend that I setup a config file and a keybindings configurator.
Just use claude code to fix claude code? Honestly adding keybindings is actually trivial.
