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.

Clearing a text selection is now a rebindable key action in the Scroll context.

selection:clear
What

Clearing a selection in the scroll view is now the keybinding action selection:clear in the "Scroll" context, so you can rebind it. When nothing is selected the handler declines the key so it falls through to whatever else wants it.

Details
  • Escape has been added to the list of keys that no longer clear a selection, alongside wheel scroll, page up and page down.
Evidence

"selection:clear"

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