What
Keybindings are your custom keyboard shortcuts. A modifier is a key like ctrl that you hold down with another key. The troubleshooting table for keybindings has a new row for an error where the word before the key is not a modifier. For example, if you type ctl for ctrl, Claude Code drops it, and the shortcut ends up on a different key.
The row gives two fixes:
- correct the modifier using the Keystroke Syntax list; the error message suggests the corrected keystroke when it can
- if you meant a chord (a shortcut made of several key presses in a row), put a space between its keystrokes
Why
A typo in a modifier can move a shortcut to a different key without you noticing. This row explains the error and how to fix it.
