Claude Code 2.1.113: Terminal Input Overhaul and Remote Control Expansions
Claude CodeClaude Code 2.1.113 ships a concentrated wave of terminal ergonomics improvements. Readline-standard Ctrl+A/Ctrl+E navigation now works in multiline input, Ctrl+Backspace deletes the previous word on Windows, and long URLs in responses stay clickable when they wrap across terminal lines. The /loop command gains an Esc shortcut to cancel pending wakeups, /extra-usage and @-file autocomplete are now accessible from Remote Control (mobile/web) clients, and /ultrareview launches faster with parallelized checks and a diffstat in its dialog.

Terminal Input Overhaul and Remote Control Expansions
Claude Code version 2.1.113 (April 17, 2026) delivers a concentrated set of terminal ergonomics fixes and Remote Control client expansions that reduce friction across everyday use.
Readline-Compatible Line Navigation
The most broadly impactful input change is readline-compatible cursor movement in multiline input: Ctrl+A now moves to the start of the current logical line, and Ctrl+E moves to the end. This aligns Claude Code's prompt editor with standard terminal behavior that developers expect from any interactive CLI tool — composing long, multi-line prompts no longer requires awkward arrow-key traversal across wrapped text.
Windows: Ctrl+Backspace Word Deletion
Windows users gain Ctrl+Backspace to delete the previous word — a standard shortcut that was previously absent on the Windows build. This continues the steady convergence of Windows Claude Code behavior with macOS and Linux.
Clickable Long URLs Across Line Wraps
Long URLs in responses and Bash tool output now remain clickable when they wrap across terminal lines, in terminals that support OSC 8 hyperlinks. Previously a URL that exceeded the terminal column width would break the hyperlink, forcing manual copy-paste. This is especially noticeable in code review sessions where Claude generates multiple long GitHub, file, or documentation links in a single response.
/loop: Esc to Cancel Pending Wakeups
The /loop command now accepts Esc to cancel pending wakeups. Wakeup events also display more clearly as "Claude resuming /loop wakeup" rather than a generic status message, making it easier to follow what's happening during long multi-step loops and interrupt them cleanly when needed.
Remote Control Client Expansions
Two Remote Control capabilities ship in this release:
/extra-usageis now accessible from Remote Control (mobile/web) sessions, letting users request additional context capacity without switching to a desktop terminal.@-file autocomplete suggestions can now be queried from Remote Control clients, enabling file-referencing workflows from the mobile app or web interface.
/ultrareview: Faster Launch with Diffstat
/ultrareview — the parallel multi-agent code review command introduced in 2.1.111 — launches faster in 2.1.113 with its checks now running in parallel. The launch dialog now shows a diffstat summary so users see the scope of the review before it begins, and an animated launching state provides visual feedback during startup.
