What probably matters to youSection of the release

What

Several pickers now use one shared scrolling list component, and their keybinding actions (the names you use in a custom keybindings file) changed with them:

  • The default MessageSelector keybinding context is gone. Its actions messageSelector:up, messageSelector:down, messageSelector:top, messageSelector:bottom and messageSelector:select are replaced by select:previous, select:next, select:first, select:last and select:accept.
  • Old action names in your own keybindings are rewritten to the new ones automatically, so custom bindings keep working. The rewrite list also includes diff:viewDetails.
  • The /rewind message list is rebuilt on the shared list. Each row shows details such as files changed or that there is no code to restore. The old messageSelector:* actions are no longer bound there.
  • The diff dialog loses its default enter: "diff:viewDetails" binding, so Enter no longer opens a detail view. Its file list uses the list's own focus and select, and moving to the previous or next file goes through a Select-context binding. One finding reports that a custom binding naming diff:viewDetails may no longer do anything.
  • The browser chooser marks the current device with a success icon labelled "current:" instead of a " · current" suffix, and shows at most 5 rows.
  • The GCP project picker starts with the configured project focused.

Why

If you have a custom keybindings file that remaps the message selector, it should keep working, but the select:* names are the ones to use from now on. Check any binding that names diff:viewDetails, since that action may no longer do anything.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.
