Documentation Type

Incorrect/outdated documentation

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode

Section/Topic

Ctrl+O transcript/focus controls in the keyboard shortcuts and fullscreen behavior docs

Current Documentation

The docs currently say:

Ctrl+O | Toggle transcript viewer | Shows detailed tool usage and execution. Also expands MCP calls, which collapse to a single line like "Called slack 3 times" by default. In fullscreen rendering, cycles through three states: normal prompt, transcript mode, and focus view (last prompt + tool summary + response)

And the fullscreen page says:

In fullscreen rendering, Ctrl+o cycles through three states: normal prompt, transcript mode, and focus view. Press it once to enter transcript mode, press it again to return to a focus view showing just your last prompt, a one-line summary of tool calls with edit diffstats, and the final response. Press it a third time to return to the normal prompt screen.

The commands reference currently has no /focus entry.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.110 says:

Changed Ctrl+O to toggle between normal and verbose transcript only; focus view is now toggled separately with the new /focus command

The current docs still describe the older three-state Ctrl+O behavior and do not document the new /focus command. That leaves users with incorrect instructions for entering focus view and no command reference entry for the new command.

Suggested Improvement

Update the affected docs for v2.1.110 so they consistently say:

  1. Ctrl+O toggles only between normal and verbose transcript views.
  2. Focus view is controlled separately with /focus.
  3. The commands reference includes a /focus entry explaining what it toggles and where it applies.

The fullscreen page should also replace the current "press it once / twice / third time" sequence with the new behavior.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand

extent analysis

TL;DR

Update the documentation for Ctrl+O and add a new entry for the /focus command to reflect the changes made in version 2.1.110.

Guidance

  • Review the changelog entry for version 2.1.110 to understand the changes made to the Ctrl+O behavior and the introduction of the /focus command.
  • Update the keyboard shortcut table on the interactive mode page to reflect that Ctrl+O now only toggles between normal and verbose transcript views.
  • Add a new entry to the commands reference page to document the /focus command, including its behavior and where it applies.
  • Update the fullscreen page to remove the outdated "press it once / twice / third time" sequence and replace it with the new behavior.

Example

No code snippet is necessary for this issue, as it is related to documentation updates.

Notes

The updates should be made to the following pages: interactive mode, fullscreen, and commands reference. The changes should be based on the exact changelog entry for version 2.1.110.

Recommendation

Apply the suggested improvements to update the documentation and add the new /focus command entry, as this will ensure that users have accurate information about the current behavior of Ctrl+O and the new /focus command.
