The dialog's other keys are fixed and can't be rebound: `Enter` or `Tab` places the highlighted match in the prompt input and `Esc` cancels.

283In the message list of the [rewind menu](/docs/en/checkpointing.md), you move through messages and pick one with the [Select actions](#select-actions) and their default keys. Your `Select` bindings for those actions apply there too. The `MessageSelector` context has no actions or default bindings of its own. Use it to change a key for this list alone, by binding a Select action such as `select:accept` in a `MessageSelector` block.

683* Vim keys aren't remappable through the keybindings file. To map a two-key INSERT-mode sequence such as `jj` to Escape, use the [`vimInsertModeRemaps`](/docs/en/interactive-mode#remap-insert-mode-key-sequences) setting

687In the `Other` row of a question Claude asks, Escape doesn't cancel the question right away in vim mode. Except in [screen reader mode](/docs/en/accessibility.md), the row starts in INSERT mode each time you focus it. When you press Escape in the `Other` row, the row switches to NORMAL mode or drops a half-typed vim command, and the question stays open. Press Escape again in NORMAL mode to cancel the question.

691To cancel a question with one key press in vim mode, bind another key to `select:cancel` in the `Select` context. You can cancel this way from the `Other` row of a question where you select one option. In [screen reader mode](/docs/en/accessibility.md) or in a question where you can select several options, the bound key doesn't cancel, so cancel with Escape instead.
