Send-now shortcut is offered only where the terminal can deliver it

Claude Code now offers its modifier-Enter send-now shortcut based on what your terminal can actually send, not on a fixed list of terminal names

What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

Claude Code has a key binding, chat:sendNow, that sends your message straight away when you press Enter while holding a modifier key. The task list has a matching action that sends a task off and opens it.

Whether these are offered used to depend on a fixed list of terminal names. It now depends on whether your terminal is detected as able to send extended key combinations:

  • under tmux or screen, they are not offered
  • in Windows Terminal, they need the kitty keyboard protocol, a way for terminals to report more key combinations, to be confirmed
Why

The shortcut and its hint stop appearing in terminals that cannot actually send the modified key press, where pressing it would not work.
