claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Ctrl+H deletes word instead of single character in Windows Terminal + clink [1 participants]

Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

Downgrade to Claude Code version 2.1.109 to potentially resolve the Ctrl+H deletion issue.

Guidance

• Verify that the issue is indeed a regression by testing version 2.1.109 as mentioned in the "Last Working Version" section.
• Check if the problem persists across different terminals (e.g., cmd, powershell, pwsh) to isolate if it's a terminal-specific issue or a Claude Code issue.
• Since the expected behavior is backward-delete-char (single character deletion), ensure that there are no conflicting keyboard shortcuts in the Windows Terminal settings or in the shell configuration that might be overriding the default Ctrl+H behavior.
• Consider testing on a different operating system or environment to see if the issue is specific to Windows 10 Pro 22H2 or Windows 11.

Example

No specific code snippet is applicable in this scenario as the issue seems related to keyboard shortcut behavior rather than code implementation.

Notes

The provided information suggests a regression, but the operating system mentioned in the "Operating System" section (macOS) does not match the environment where the issue is reproduced (Windows 10 Pro 22H2, Windows 11). This discrepancy might affect the reproducibility or the approach to solving the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Downgrade to version 2.1.109, as it is confirmed to work correctly, while waiting for a potential fix in future versions of Claude Code.
