Feature Request

Problem

When pasting or inputting large blocks of text (e.g., multi-line content via voice input), Claude Code automatically collapses/folds the user input in the conversation view. There is currently no way to expand and review the folded input.

This is particularly problematic for voice input users who need to verify what was transcribed before or after submission.

What I tried

  • Ctrl+O (transcript viewer): only expands assistant output and tool calls, not the folded user input
  • Ctrl+E (show all) in transcript mode: does not expand user input either

Expected Behavior

Users should be able to click or use a keyboard shortcut to expand collapsed user input and review the full text.

Use Case

When using voice-to-text input, users need to check whether the transcription is accurate. The auto-collapse makes this impossible after submission.

Environment

  • Claude Code CLI (terminal)
  • macOS

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implement a feature or shortcut to expand collapsed user input in the conversation view.

Guidance

  • Investigate existing keyboard shortcuts and UI elements to determine if there's an undocumented way to expand user input.
  • Consider adding a new keyboard shortcut (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+E) specifically for expanding collapsed user input.
  • Review the code responsible for collapsing user input to understand how it can be modified to include an expansion feature.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of adding a clickable icon or button next to collapsed input to toggle its expansion.

Example

No code snippet can be provided without more context about the existing codebase.

Notes

The solution may require modifications to the Claude Code CLI's UI and keyboard shortcut handling. The implementation details will depend on the specific technologies and frameworks used in the project.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as using a different input method or manually typing out the text, until a proper expansion feature can be implemented, as there is no clear indication of a fixed version that addresses this issue.
