What's Wrong?

In Claude for Windows, when hovering over icons in the app, the tooltips display Mac keyboard shortcuts (e.g., ⌘ + N) instead of the correct Windows equivalents (e.g., Ctrl + N), in the 'New chat' button on the main menu.

What Should Happen?

Tooltips should detect the OS and show the appropriate modifier key (Ctrl instead of ⌘).

TL;DR

The issue can likely be fixed by modifying the tooltip display logic to detect the operating system and show the correct modifier key.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue is specific to the Windows version of the application by checking if the Mac version displays the correct shortcuts.
  • Check the code responsible for displaying tooltips and modifier keys to see if it uses a platform-agnostic approach or if it's hardcoded for Mac.
  • Consider adding a conditional statement to display Ctrl instead of when the application is running on Windows.
  • Review the application's configuration or settings to see if there's an option to customize or override the default keyboard shortcuts.

Example

// Pseudocode example
if (operatingSystem === 'Windows') {
  tooltipText = tooltipText.replace('⌘', 'Ctrl');
}

Notes

The provided information does not include the actual code responsible for displaying tooltips, so the suggested fix is based on the assumption that the issue is due to a hardcoded Mac shortcut.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the tooltip display logic to detect the operating system and show the correct modifier key, as the issue seems to be specific to the Windows version of the application.
