Unclear Whether Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D closes only the dialog or quits Claude Code altogether is not shown.

What

An API key is the secret code that lets Claude Code use an account. When Claude Code finds one in your environment, it shows a dialog that begins "Detected a custom API key in your environment". Pressing Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D while that dialog is showing now exits.

Why

You can leave the dialog with the usual quit keys without having to answer it first.
