On Windows, all buttons that display keyboard shortcut hints show macOS-style modifier key icons instead of the correct Windows equivalents.

Examples observed:

  • "Allow once" button shows ⌘⇧↵ instead of Ctrl+Shift+Enter
  • "Always allow" button shows ⌘↵ instead of Ctrl+Enter
  • "Revise" button (shown after a plan completes) exhibits the same issue

This affects all shortcut-annotated buttons throughout the app — it is not limited to a specific view or action.

Root Cause

  • "Always allow" button shows ⌘↵ instead of Ctrl+Enter

Description

On Windows, all buttons that display keyboard shortcut hints show macOS-style modifier key icons instead of the correct Windows equivalents.

Examples observed:

  • "Allow once" button shows ⌘⇧↵ instead of Ctrl+Shift+Enter
  • "Always allow" button shows ⌘↵ instead of Ctrl+Enter
  • "Revise" button (shown after a plan completes) exhibits the same issue

This affects all shortcut-annotated buttons throughout the app — it is not limited to a specific view or action.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Desktop on Windows
  2. Trigger any prompt that shows action buttons with keyboard shortcut hints (e.g. a tool permission dialog, or finish a plan to see the "Revise" button)
  3. Observe the keyboard shortcut icons displayed alongside the button labels

Expected Behavior

Shortcut hints should use Windows-appropriate key symbols:

  • Ctrl instead of ⌘
  • Shift instead of ⇧
  • Enter instead of ↵ (or keep the arrow, but pair it with Ctrl/Shift labels)

Actual Behavior

macOS Command (⌘) and Shift (⇧) glyphs are shown verbatim on Windows, where these keys do not exist.

Screenshot

The "Allow once" button displays ⌘⇧↵ and "Always allow" displays ⌘↵.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Update the keyboard shortcut hints to use Windows-specific modifier key symbols, such as Ctrl instead of ⌘ and Shift instead of ⇧.

Guidance

  • Review the code responsible for generating keyboard shortcut hints and update the symbols to match the Windows platform.
  • Verify that the updated hints are displayed correctly on Windows by testing the app with different shortcut-annotated buttons.
  • Consider using a platform-specific approach to determine the correct modifier key symbols, such as using Ctrl on Windows and ⌘ on macOS.
  • Check the app's localization and internationalization settings to ensure that the correct symbols are used for different languages and regions.

Example

// Pseudocode example of platform-specific shortcut hints
const platform = getPlatform();
if (platform === 'win32') {
  shortcutHint = 'Ctrl+Shift+Enter';
} else if (platform === 'darwin') {
  shortcutHint = '⌘⇧↵';
}

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the app's cross-platform compatibility, and the solution will likely involve updating the code to handle platform-specific differences.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by updating the keyboard shortcut hints to use Windows-specific modifier key symbols, as this is a more targeted solution than upgrading to a potentially non-existent fixed version.
