claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [DOCS] Workflows docs missing backspace shortcut for dismissing workflow trigger keyword

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/workflows

Section/Topic

"Ask for a workflow in your prompt" section

Current Documentation

The docs currently say:

If Claude Code highlights the word when you didn't mean to trigger one, press alt+w to ignore it for this prompt.

What's Wrong or Missing?

As of v2.1.157, pressing backspace right after a workflow trigger keyword also dismisses the workflow request (same as alt+w). This shortcut is not documented. The docs only mention alt+w for dismissing a workflow trigger, but backspace is an alternative that users may discover accidentally and expect to find documented.

Suggested Improvement

After:

If Claude Code highlights the word when you didn't mean to trigger one, press alt+w or backspace to ignore it for this prompt.

Alternatively, add a separate sentence clarifying both methods:

If Claude Code highlights the word when you didn't mean to trigger one, press alt+w to ignore it for this prompt. Pressing backspace immediately after typing a workflow trigger keyword also dismisses the request.

Impact

Low - Minor confusion or inconvenience

Additional Context

Affected Pages:

Total scope: 1 page affected

The interactive-mode docs (https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode) and keybindings docs (https://code.claude.com/docs/en/keybindings) also do not mention backspace in relation to workflow trigger dismissal.

Version: Added in v2.1.157.
