DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.98

Dynamic Keyboard Hint Components

All hardcoded keyboard instruction text throughout the UI has been replaced with a reusable A8 keyboard chord component. This affects dozens of locations:

  • "Esc to cancel" → rendered via A8 chord component
  • "Enter to confirm" → rendered via A8 chord component
  • Navigation hints ("↑↓ to scroll", "← → to adjust") → rendered via A8 chord components
  • Selection hints ("Enter to select", "Tab to switch") → rendered via A8 chord components

This infrastructure enables future support for custom keybindings — the hint text will dynamically reflect any user-configured key remappings.

Evidence

Keyboard hint refactoring (search for chord: and action: in component definitions)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
