DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.169

ctrl+x ctrl+b Added as a Background Task Shortcut

What

The keybinding to background the current task (send it to run in the background) now accepts both ctrl+b and the tmux-safe chord ctrl+x ctrl+b. This prevents conflicts in tmux sessions where ctrl+b is the prefix key.

Details
  • Both shortcuts trigger the task:background action in the Task context
  • In tmux, the displayed hint automatically shows ctrl+x ctrl+b instead of ctrl+b
  • The previous ctrl+x again to archive binding hint is removed; ctrl+x ctrl+b is the canonical form
Evidence

Keybinding table change (search for "ctrl+x ctrl+b") — dA8 keybinding table at line ~11817

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
