What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

One of Claude Code's key handlers used to respond only to the down arrow and Return. It now also accepts ctrl+n. Holding Alt or Meta at the same time turns this off.

Why

ctrl+n moves down in many terminal programs and editors, such as Emacs. If you are used to it, you can now press it in this list without reaching for the arrow keys.
