Unclear It is not clear which remote machines support sending now, so whether this works in a given session is unknown.
What
When you type a message while Claude is still working, it waits in a queue. In a remote session, where Claude runs on another machine, Claude Code can now send that queued message immediately. This works when:
the remote machine supports sending immediately
Claude is in the middle of a turn
no sends are being held back
The send-now key does this, and so does pressing Enter on an empty prompt, which has one more condition of its own. If the remote machine does not support it, you see "Send now isn't available here · esc to interrupt and send". Before, send-now only worked on your own machine's queue.
Why
This changes what Enter and the send-now key do in remote and cloud sessions. Where sending now is not supported, press Esc to interrupt Claude and send instead.
