Source Intelligence

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.

Escape reaches vim mode in the background agents screen

Use it now
Useful3 Signal1
Terminal UI

In vim mode, escape in the background agents screen now goes to the editor.

What

If you use vim editor mode, pressing escape in the background agents screen now goes to the editor instead of clearing your query or leaving the screen, unless you are already in NORMAL mode with an empty query.

Details
  • Any armed delete confirmation is dismissed first.
  • Behaviour is unchanged if vim editor mode is off.
Evidence

NORMAL

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