  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

It would be great if common emacs bindings （^B, esc-b, etc.) would work in Claude Code. When editing prompts, it's often difficult to navigate around. Some things (like ^A) seem to work fine, but many do not.

Creating this to replace #29931, which got auto-closed.

Proposed Solution

I'd like to be able to use esc-b, esc-f, etc. to navigate forward and backwards when writing / editing prompts.
