What

A new keyboard action, pane:close ('close plugin pane'), joins the existing pane:bottom, pane:grow, and pane:shrink actions. It's bound to ctrl+x x in the pane keymap, and separately bound in a new 'PaneField' context.

Why

This gives a dedicated shortcut for closing a plugin pane (a UI panel provided by a plugin), matching the existing shortcuts for resizing and repositioning panes.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up pane:close, on Customize keyboard shortcuts. Actions for a pane drawn by a [mod](/docs/en/plugins/mods/interface#know-which-keys-your-mod-can-receive). The scroll, resize, and close actions apply in the `Pane` [context](#contexts). `pane:close` also applies in the `PaneField` context… keybindings see the edit
