[DOCS] Fullscreen rendering docs still describe Ctrl+O as transcript mode

Documentation Type

Incorrect/outdated documentation

Documentation Location

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

Section/Topic

The "Search and review the conversation" section, plus the Ctrl+O shortcut descriptions in the interactive mode and keybindings references.

Current Documentation

The fullscreen page currently says:

Press Ctrl+o to enter transcript mode. With fullscreen rendering active, transcript mode gains less-style navigation and search: Esc, q, or Ctrl+o | Exit transcript mode

The interactive mode reference currently says:

Ctrl+O | Toggle verbose output | Shows detailed tool usage and execution. Also expands MCP read and search calls, which collapse to a single line like "Queried slack" by default

The keybindings reference currently says:

app:toggleTranscript | Ctrl+O | Toggle verbose transcript

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.97 added a focus view toggle for CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER / fullscreen mode: Ctrl+O now shows the prompt, a one-line tool summary (including edit diffstats), and the final response.

The current docs still describe Ctrl+O only as transcript / verbose mode and do not explain the focus-view behavior in NO_FLICKER mode, what content it shows, or how it differs from the fuller transcript-style view described today.

That leaves the fullscreen documentation out of date for a user-visible shortcut and UI mode.

Suggested Improvement

Update the fullscreen rendering docs to describe the Ctrl+O focus view in CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1 sessions, including:

  • that the shortcut is available in fullscreen / NO_FLICKER mode
  • that the view shows the prompt, one-line tool summaries, edit diffstats, and the final response
  • how this differs from the existing transcript/verbose terminology already used elsewhere

Then update the shortcut references on the interactive mode and keybindings pages so they no longer describe Ctrl+O only as "verbose transcript" without the fullscreen-specific behavior.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
