What

In the dialog titled "What do you want to do?", pressing Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D now exits. Before, these keys did nothing there, because the dialog's cancel action was empty.

Why

You are no longer stuck in this dialog if you reach for the usual keys to leave it.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say whether exiting closes only the dialog or Claude Code itself.
Anthropic's release notes agreeImproved screen-reader output in /mcp: a disabled server is read as "off" instead of "pending"
