What's Wrong?
Claude Code intercepts cmd+h to open the terminal when open in Code mode. Working as intended in one sense. But cmd+h is a system level shortcut. Naturally there are many, i do believe this is quite a common one. cmd+m to minimize still works. But i tend to use cmd+h, i prefer it as it's faster and hides all windows. I expect many others do too.
This is not in VSCode like #44621 or #39429 this is with the normal Claude Code macos desktop app.
What Should Happen?
Hide the window like all other macos apps i use.
