Section/Topic

Text editing keyboard shortcuts for prompt input

Current Documentation

The Text editing table currently says:

| Ctrl+K | Delete to end of line | Stores deleted text for pasting |
| Ctrl+U | Delete from cursor to line start | Stores deleted text for pasting. Repeat to clear across lines in multiline input |
| Ctrl+Y | Paste deleted text | Paste text deleted with Ctrl+K or Ctrl+U |
| Alt+B | Move cursor back one word | Word navigation. Requires Option as Meta on macOS |
| Alt+F | Move cursor forward one word | Word navigation. Requires Option as Meta on macOS |

There is no corresponding row that documents Ctrl+E for chat input or multiline prompt editing.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.92 says:

Fixed ctrl+e jumping to the end of the next line when already at end of line in multiline prompts

That changelog entry confirms Ctrl+E is a supported prompt-editing shortcut, but the interactive mode docs do not explain what it does or how it behaves in multiline prompts.

As a result, users have no official keyboard-shortcut reference telling them that Ctrl+E should move to the end of the current line in prompt input.

Suggested Improvement

Add a Ctrl+E row to the Text editing table on https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode.

At minimum, document that Ctrl+E moves the cursor to the end of the current line in chat input, including multiline prompts.

Suggested table entry:

| Ctrl+E | Move cursor to end of current line | Works in prompt input, including multiline prompts |

Impact
