Description
The /mcp command's interactive menu does not respond to any keyboard navigation method:
- Arrow keys (up/down) — no effect
- j/k — no effect
- Tab / Shift-Tab — no effect
This appears to be a recurring regression — navigation worked in a previous version and has broken again.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.270
- Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.6.0)
- Terminal: iTerm.app (xterm-256color)
Steps to Reproduce
- Run
/mcpin Claude Code CLI - An interactive menu appears with choices
- Attempt to navigate with arrow keys, j/k, or Tab/Shift-Tab
- None of the keys move the selection
Expected Behavior
Arrow keys (and ideally j/k or Tab) should move the selection highlight between menu items.
