Unclear It is not confirmed whether the chord timeout itself changed or was already 3 seconds.
What
Claude Code lets you customise keyboard shortcuts, and its reference text lists the modifier keys you can use. That text has been corrected:
metais described as the same key asaltin terminals, which is the Option key on macOS. It no longer listscmdorcommandas aliases.cmdis documented as a separate modifier, with the aliasescommand,superandwin. Most terminals never send this key to programs.- The time allowed between the keys of a chord, a shortcut made of two key presses in a row, is now given as 3 seconds instead of 1 second.
Claude Code already read cmd, command, super and win as the Super key in the previous build, so the text now matches how shortcuts already behaved.
Why
If you bound a shortcut to cmd+… expecting it to act like meta, the old text misled you. A shortcut meant for Option or Alt should use meta or alt.
