claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature request: Shift+Arrow text selection in prompt input [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing Shift+Arrow text selection in the prompt input box requires modifying the existing keybinding handlers to support selection actions.

Guidance

• Review the current keybinding handlers for selection:extendLeft and other selection actions to understand how they are applied to the Scroll context.
• Investigate how to extend the selection actions to the input box context, potentially by adding new keybindings or modifying the existing ones.
• Consider adding configurability via ~/.claude/keybindings.json to allow users to customize the keybindings.
• Test the new keybindings with different input scenarios, such as single-line and multi-line prompts, to ensure correct behavior.
