523525This also works for chord bindings. Unbinding every chord that shares a prefix frees that prefix for use as a single-key binding. A chord in any active context keeps its prefix reserved, so you must unbind each chord in the context that defines it.

525Claude Code binds these default chords on the `ctrl+x` prefix: `ctrl+x ctrl+k`, `ctrl+x ctrl+e`, `ctrl+x enter`, `ctrl+x ctrl+a`, `ctrl+x ctrl+s`, and `ctrl+x tab` in `Chat`, `ctrl+x ctrl+b` in `Task`, and `ctrl+x b` in `DiffPanel`. The `ctrl+x enter` chord requires v2.1.247 or later, `ctrl+x b`, `ctrl+x ctrl+a`, and `ctrl+x tab` require v2.1.260 or later, and `ctrl+x ctrl+s` requires v2.1.275 or later.
527Claude Code binds these default chords on the `ctrl+x` prefix, by context:

529* `Chat`: `ctrl+x ctrl+k`, `ctrl+x ctrl+e`, `ctrl+x enter`, `ctrl+x ctrl+a`, `ctrl+x ctrl+s`, and `ctrl+x tab`
530* `Task`: `ctrl+x ctrl+b`
531* `DiffPanel`: `ctrl+x b`
532* `Pane`: `ctrl+x left`, `ctrl+x right`, `ctrl+x up`, `ctrl+x down`, and `ctrl+x x`
533* `PaneField`: `ctrl+x x`
534
535The `ctrl+x enter` chord requires v2.1.247 or later, `ctrl+x b`, `ctrl+x ctrl+a`, and `ctrl+x tab` require v2.1.260 or later, and `ctrl+x ctrl+s` requires v2.1.275 or later.
