Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

The following keyboard shortcuts do not work on german keyboards as they require the AltGr key which is not supported in shortcuts (and probably also not in other non-US keyboard layouts):

  • Ctrl-Shift-[
  • Ctrl-Shift-]
  • Ctrl-'
  • Ctrl-\

This is annoying as especially Ctrl-' (Open Terminal) is needed often and does not work at all via keyboard

What Should Happen?

Provide alternative shortcuts (for other layouts) or make them configurable.
