Japanese input UX improvements

Open nkmr-jp opened this issue 7 months ago • 2 comments

Hello! When I enter Japanese characters in the prompt input form of the claude command's interactive session, the text appears in a different location from the input form. Pressing Enter enters the text correctly, so there is no problem with usage, but the UX is not good, so I would like this to be improved.

When entering directly from the console, Japanese text is entered at the cursor position. This is the expected behavior.

Environment:

Claude Code Version: 1.0.3

OS: macOS Sequoia Version 15.3.2

Shell: zsh

Editor : GoLand 2025.1 (Build #GO-251.23774.430, built on April 14, 2025) (The same behavior occurs in the default Mac terminal.)

IME: MacOS default IME (The same behavior occurs in the popular Japanese input method editor “Google Japanese Input” in Japan.)

I've created an app that makes Japanese input easier, so I'd like to share it.

It's an input-only app that can be used quickly and easily, like a launcher app. https://github.com/nkmr-jp/prompt-line

For me personally, this has completely eliminated the stress of Japanese input.

While this does not solve the issues with Claude Code itself, I think it is one of the effective approaches to various issues related to Japanese input UX at this point. ( #1547 #1697 #2054 #2335 #2339 #2478 #2566, etc.)
