What

The kitty keyboard protocol is a way for a terminal to report key presses in more detail. At startup, Claude Code asks the terminal whether it supports this protocol by sending a short query.

Claude Code now records the terminal's support whenever the terminal answers that query. Before this change, the answer was recorded only when a second, separate condition was also true.

Why

Terminals that do answer the query should now get the richer keyboard handling more reliably.

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 doubtIt is not clear what the second condition was, so it is unclear which terminals were affected before.
