What
Two small changes to how Claude Code draws its terminal screen:
Pressing a key now clears any screen-reader announcements that were being held back and redraws the screen. A screen reader is software that reads text aloud, and the announcements are the messages it is given to speak.
Copying with a right-click now first takes down the current selection.
Claude Code also gains a way to hold screen-reader announcements for a moment and rewrite them before they are spoken. How it decides whether to use non-blocking terminal output, set with CLAUDE_CODE_NONBLOCKING_STDOUT or a remote setting, is unchanged.
Why
These are small fixes for accessibility and text selection. A screen reader user should no longer hear announcements that are out of date once they start typing.
