116117The `allow-passthrough` line lets notifications and progress updates reach the outer terminal instead of being swallowed by tmux. The `extended-keys` lines let tmux distinguish Shift+Enter from plain Enter so the newline shortcut works.

119## Fix Backspace deleting a whole word on Windows
120 
121On Windows, Claude Code reads a Backspace that arrives as `^H` as Ctrl+Backspace, which [deletes the previous word](/docs/en/interactive-mode#text-editing), except when `TERM_PROGRAM` is `mintty` or `TERM` is `cygwin`. On macOS and Linux, Claude Code reads it as plain Backspace.
122 
123If each press of Backspace deletes a whole word, your terminal sends `^H` for plain Backspace. Set [`CLAUDE_CODE_BS_AS_CTRL_BACKSPACE=0`](/docs/en/env-vars). Backspace and Ctrl+H then erase one character each. If Ctrl+Backspace erases only one character on macOS or Linux because your terminal sends `^H` for it, set the variable to `1` instead.
