claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] In-session search and bookmark navigation for long conversations

Problem Statement

In long Claude Code sessions, there is no way to locate a previous exchange, decision point, or code change discussion without scrolling through the entire terminal history. Terminal scrollback is the only mechanism available, and it provides no search, filtering, or structured navigation.

This becomes a real bottleneck in sessions exceeding ~1 hour or ~50 turns, where the relevant context may be hundreds of lines above the current prompt.

Proposed Solution

Add in-session search and bookmark navigation, similar to how IDEs handle long files:

1. Keyword search — a keybinding (e.g. Ctrl+F) opens an inline search bar that jumps to matching turns within the current session

2. Bookmarks / decision markers — allow the user (or Claude) to mark a turn as a checkpoint; a panel or list command (/bookmarks) shows all marked points and allows jumping to them

3. Quick navigation — /goto <keyword> or similar slash command that recalls and summarizes the relevant exchange without consuming significant context
