What
Binding ctrl+[, ctrl+i or ctrl+h is now an error, because terminals send those as Escape, Tab and Backspace and Claude Code cannot distinguish them.
Details
- Reported at severity error, so the binding is rejected rather than warned about.
Evidence
Cannot be rebound - identical to Escape in terminals
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
