Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings

Section/Topic

settings.json available settings list and fullscreen rendering scroll behavior

Current Documentation

The fullscreen guide currently says:

| Ctrl+End | Jump to the latest message and re-enable auto-follow |

Scrolling up pauses auto-follow so new output does not pull you back to the bottom. Press Ctrl+End or scroll to the bottom to resume following.

The settings page currently says:

Available settings

settings.json supports a number of options:

Nearby UI-related settings are documented, for example:

| prefersReducedMotion | Reduce or disable UI animations (spinners, shimmer, flash effects) for accessibility | | viewMode | Default transcript view mode on startup: "default", "verbose", or "focus". Overrides the sticky Ctrl+O selection when set |

No documentation currently exists for autoScrollEnabled.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.110 added autoScrollEnabled to disable conversation auto-scroll in fullscreen mode, but the current docs only describe the default auto-follow behavior and manual ways to re-enable it.

The docs do not explain that this setting exists, where to configure it, what values it accepts, what the default is, or how it changes fullscreen scrolling behavior.

Suggested Improvement

Add autoScrollEnabled to the settings.json settings table with its exact JSON shape, default value, scope support, and a short explanation that it disables automatic following of new messages in fullscreen mode.

Update the fullscreen guide's "Scroll the conversation" section to mention this setting and explain how it interacts with Ctrl+End, scrolling to the bottom, and the scroll:bottom action when users want to resume following manually.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand

TL;DR

Add documentation for the autoScrollEnabled setting in the settings.json table and update the fullscreen guide to explain its interaction with manual scrolling and Ctrl+End.

Guidance

  • Review the changelog entry for v2.1.110 to understand the purpose and behavior of the autoScrollEnabled setting.
  • Update the settings.json documentation to include the autoScrollEnabled setting, its default value, and a brief explanation of its effect on fullscreen scrolling.
  • Modify the fullscreen guide to mention the autoScrollEnabled setting and how it interacts with manual scrolling, Ctrl+End, and the scroll:bottom action.
  • Verify the changes by checking the affected pages (settings, fullscreen, and keybindings) to ensure the new documentation is accurate and consistent.

Example

No code snippet is necessary for this issue, as it is focused on documentation updates.

Notes

The solution relies on the information provided in the changelog entry and the current documentation. It is essential to review the changelog entry to understand the intended behavior of the autoScrollEnabled setting.
