extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by using a different hotkey, such as Ctrl + C, to close the /status submenu in JetBrains IDEs instead of ESC.

Guidance

  • The problem seems to be related to the ESC key being blocked by the terminal in JetBrains IDEs, preventing the /status submenu from closing.
  • To verify this, try using a different hotkey, such as Ctrl + C, to close the submenu and see if it works.
  • If using Ctrl + C works, it may be necessary to update the default hotkey settings in Claude Code or the JetBrains IDE to use this key combination instead of ESC.
  • Additionally, checking the keyboard shortcuts settings in the JetBrains IDE may provide more information on how to customize the hotkeys.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it is not necessary for this issue.

Notes

The issue is reported as a regression, meaning it worked in a previous version, but the last working version is not specified. This information may be useful for further debugging.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Using Ctrl + C as an alternative hotkey to close the /status submenu is a viable workaround until a fix is available.
