What

The prompt box, where you type messages to Claude, can now recover text you cleared by accident.

  • Pressing Ctrl+C now keeps the cleared text (holdCleared). This applies when the box is empty or when you have edited text recalled from your history.
  • Pressing Up first tries to restore that text (restoreCleared). This works only if the box is still empty, and the cursor moves to the end of the restored text.
  • A new notifier for when a selection is taken down in fullscreen mode is also added.

Why

If Ctrl+C wipes a prompt you were still writing, pressing Up gets it back instead of making you retype it.
