Bug Description
I'm working on in Claude code in the terminal on Macintosh OS X. I am using the latest version of Claude Code, upgraded today (Aug, 13). If I go into the subagent view and browse the different subagents and then return back to the main process, I find myself in a view with tasks output and status — the blue banner shows which agent/task are active. In this mode, the terminal's input routing changes: keyboard shortcuts are intercepted by the agent UI rather than your shell, which is why Command+C doesn't work the way you'd expect. I cannot find a way to exit from this mode, I asked Claude and he suggest using escape but that do not work, the only result is that the current process is interrupted. Maybe I am missing something or is this a bug that ought to be reported.
