claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Norwegian keyboard layout on Mac: Option+Shift+8/9 produces ( ) instead of { } in CLI prompt [1 participants]

Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by adjusting the keyboard layout handling in the Claude Code CLI to correctly interpret Option+Shift+8 and Option+Shift+9 for Norwegian keyboard layouts.

Guidance

• Verify that the issue is specific to the Norwegian keyboard layout by testing with a different layout to confirm if the problem persists.
• Check if there are any existing configuration options in Claude Code for customizing keyboard shortcuts or layout-specific behavior that could be adjusted to fix the issue.
• Consider reporting this as a bug to the Claude Code developers, as it seems to be a specific issue with how the CLI handles certain keyboard shortcuts on macOS with the Norwegian layout.
• Test if the issue occurs in other terminal applications or environments to determine if it's isolated to the Claude Code CLI or a more general problem.

Example

No specific code example is applicable in this case, as the issue seems related to how the application handles keyboard input rather than a code snippet that can be modified.

Notes

The issue might be due to how the Claude Code CLI interprets keyboard shortcuts, particularly with non-standard layouts like Norwegian. It's also possible that this is a known issue that has been fixed in a later version, but without more information on version history or similar reports, it's difficult to say for certain.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the issue seems specific to the Norwegian keyboard layout and the Claude Code CLI, the best immediate course of action might be to use a different keyboard layout when interacting with the CLI, or to await a potential fix from the developers if this is reported as a bug.
