Accidental Claude closure prevention and restore Copy/Paste!

[xicubed]

I have a new method that prevents closing Cluade accidentally with SUPER W AND restores SUPER C/V for cut and paste without having to resort to SHIFT CTRL C and SHIFT CTRL V!

Note: Recent changes to Claude changed the title but it includes the spinner and ✳

This is the new script file: ~/.config/omarchy/scripts/smart-dispatch

#!/bin/bash

# These bindd/unbind lines and ACTION variable go in your 
# ~/.config/hypr/bindings.conf as close, copy or paste to
# tell it what you're doing and the end of the lines below:
# Protect Claude Code from SUPER+W and give it SUPER C and SUPER V superpowers
# unbind = SUPER, W
# unbind = SUPER, C
# unbind = SUPER, V
# bindd = SUPER, W, Close window (protected), exec, ~/.config/omarchy/scripts/smart-dispatch close
# bindd = SUPER, C, Universal copy (protected), exec, ~/.config/omarchy/scripts/smart-dispatch copy
# bindd = SUPER, V, Universal paste (protected), exec, ~/.config/omarchy/scripts/smart-dispatch paste

ACTION="$1"

# lets get the window info as json and pull out the active window 
# title (* Claude Code) and class (Alacritty for term apps)
WIN_JSON=$(hyprctl activewindow -j)
CLASS=$(echo "$WIN_JSON" | jq -r '.class')
TITLE=$(echo "$WIN_JSON" | jq -r '.title')

# because we don't want to affect browsers and apps
# who set CTRL SHIFT C to devtools or something.
is_terminal() {
    [[ "$CLASS" == "Alacritty" || "$CLASS" == "com.mitchellh.ghostty" ]]
}

# Detect a Claude Code session by the status glyph it ALWAYS prefixes the
# terminal title with: ✳ (U+2733) while idle/waiting for input, or a braille
# spinner (U+2800–U+28FF) while working. Plain shells and other apps lead their
# title with ASCII, so this reliably tells a Claude window apart per-window —
# which a process check cannot, since every ghostty window shares one PID under
# gtk-single-instance. Matching is on raw UTF-8 bytes (LC_ALL=C) to be locale-proof.
is_claude() {
    is_terminal || return 1
    local LC_ALL=C
    case "$TITLE" in
        $'\xe2\x9c\xb3'*) return 0 ;;                                    # ✳  (idle)
        $'\xe2\xa0'*|$'\xe2\xa1'*|$'\xe2\xa2'*|$'\xe2\xa3'*) return 0 ;;  # ⠿ braille spinner (working)
    esac
    return 1
}

# If we're in Claude and/or a terminal/tty/etc let the good times roll
# Super W won't let you close Claude accidentally
# Super C and V cut and paste just like on a mac
case "$ACTION" in
    close)
        if is_claude; then
            notify-send "Protected" "Use /exit or Ctrl+C to close Claude Code"
        else
            hyprctl dispatch killactive
        fi
        ;;

    copy)
        if is_terminal; then
            hyprctl dispatch sendshortcut "CTRL SHIFT,C,activewindow"
        else
            hyprctl dispatch sendshortcut "CTRL,C,activewindow"
        fi
        ;;

    paste)
        if is_terminal; then
            hyprctl dispatch sendshortcut "CTRL SHIFT,V,activewindow"
        else
            hyprctl dispatch sendshortcut "CTRL,V,activewindow"
        fi
        ;;
esac

Then, like it says in the script, modify ~/.config/hypr/bindings.conf at the bottom where it says # Overwrite existing bindings...

# Protect Claude Code from SUPER+W and give it SUPER C and SUPER V superpowers
unbind = SUPER, W
unbind = SUPER, C
unbind = SUPER, V

bindd = SUPER, W, Close window (protected), exec, ~/.config/omarchy/scripts/smart-dispatch close
bindd = SUPER, C, Universal copy (protected), exec, ~/.config/omarchy/scripts/smart-dispatch copy
bindd = SUPER, V, Universal paste (protected), exec, ~/.config/omarchy/scripts/smart-dispatch paste
