[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Incorrect/outdated documentation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:
PressCtrl+oto enter transcript mode. With fullscreen rendering active, transcript mode gainsless-style navigation and search:Esc,q, orCtrl+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That leaves the fullscreen documentation out of date for a user-visible shortcut and UI mode.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_FLICKERmode - 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
