Audible Bell Behavior on macOS Terminal.app

What

When Claude Code sets up Option+Enter as a newline key on macOS Terminal.app, it now disables the audible bell instead of switching to a visual bell. Screen-reader users are not affected.

Details
  • If Terminal.app is in screen-reader mode, the audible bell setting is left unchanged.
  • The setup notification now reads "Option+Enter for newlines and no audible bell" (previously "visual bell").
  • If no Terminal.app changes are needed (e.g., Shift+Return already works), a message confirms this without modifying preferences.
Evidence

Updated Terminal.app profile modification messages (search for "Disabled the audible bell")

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