Claude Code v2.1.193 ·
Screen Reader Mode: Cursor Visibility
EntryKind: in v2.1.193,
ImprovementsSection of the release
What
When accessibility mode or screen reader detection is enabled, the cursor is no longer hidden when leaving alternate screen mode.
Details
- Previously, the
\x1B[?25l (hide cursor) escape was always sent. Now it is skipped when accessibilityMode or isScreenReaderEnabled is true. - Screen-reader-driven tools often rely on the cursor being visible for navigation.
Evidence
Conditional cursor-hide escape (search for "accessibilityMode || this.isScreenReaderEnabled")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
