That text has been corrected:\n\n- `meta` is described as the same key as `alt` in terminals, which is the Option key on macOS. It no longer lists `cmd` or `command` as aliases.\n\n- `cmd` is documented as a separate modifier, with the aliases `command`, `super` and `win`. Most terminals never send this key to programs.\n\n- 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.\n\nClaude 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.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you bound a shortcut to `cmd+\u2026` expecting it to act like `meta`, the old text misled you. A shortcut meant for Option or Alt should use `meta` or `alt`.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
