Dear all,
If you have tried Claude Code, you may have noticed that it does not
use the native cursor of the terminal but a self-drawn cursor that
screen readers cannot easily track. The consequence is that you see your
cursor stuck at the bottom of the screen while you are typing a prompt or
editing it, so you have no clue where exactly the cursor is in the
prompt's text.
This had already been reported three times as issues on Anthropic's
GitHub repository without any success. The three issues got closed and
then locked, although one was for Linux and the two others were for
macOS, showing that the problem is not specific to one operating system.
Last Friday I opened a fourth issue, at this URL:
https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/36765
I am trying to spread the word so that all of you who have a GitHub
account and care can comment, with the hope that this will, this time,
get a bit more attention from Anthropic. It is worth pointing out that
Windows is affected too, whether one uses NVDA, Jaws or Narrator.
Please pass on the word and let's see whether by joining forces we
manage to make this change. Of course, by joining forces I mean
commenting on the issue.
thanks!
Comments
Did it!
Hi,
Thanks for bringing this to the community, I commented on the issue and I encourage everyone that either use or want to use claude-code, or who just cares about making software accessible to everyone, to comment the issue as well.
Oh no!
Anyway, what's for dinner?
Rude.
If you don't care that's fine but come on, don't just clutter up the page with silly comments like that.
I replied to the page and even though i'd not tried the coding part; I had tried claud today and reporting my findings. I honestly don't think it wil be fixed but you never know.
I actually do care
I actually care very deeply about this subject, in a very negative way, as in this nonsense can't go away soon enough. It's hyped by people who over-invested in a technology that while scientifically interesting isn't really adding any real value to the world even in its current heavily subsidized form, and those people are engaged in mass deception hoping to get rid of the liability before it blows up on their faces. The boot lickers below them are busy deceiving each other about alleged trade secret productivity boosting accomplishments that so far don't really have anything to show, and contrary to their ridiculous claims that AI would come for software engineering jobs, some people allege that the sector is rebounding.
Re: I actually do care
Does anyone remember a couple of years back, when, "I", was the one getting all kinds of flack from users here on AppleVis, with regards to my negative viewpoints on AI and AI trends?
God it's nice to see others realizing what I realized back then. 😁👋
