Would be nice to have a different wrapper around Claude, even something bare bones, as long as it's easy to modify. Claude code terminal has the jankiest text editor I've ever used -- holding down backspace just moves the cursor. It's something about the key repeat rate. If you manually press backspace repeatedly, it's fine, but a rapid repeat rate confuses the editor. (I'm pretty sure neither GNU readline nor BSD editline do this.) It makes editing prompts a giant pain in the ass.

What editor are you using?
Whatever interface you get running the claude cli.
Try ghostty, wterm, or kitty as the terminal you run Claude code from. Much better experience.
