Feature Request: Option to start reading from top of long responses

Problem

When Claude Code provides long responses, we need to manually scroll up to read from the beginning. The
viewport ends at the bottom of the response, which is the opposite of how we naturally read text.

Current Behavior

  • Long responses appear in terminal
  • Viewport positioned at bottom
  • Must scroll up manually to start reading

Desired Behavior

One or both of these options:

  1. Auto-scroll setting: Option to automatically position viewport at top of responses
  2. Keyboard shortcut: Keybinding to jump to top of last response
  • Works regardless of auto-scroll setting
  • Useful when you've scrolled around and want to return to start

Use Cases

  • Reading long code explanations
  • Reviewing generated code from top to bottom
  • Following step-by-step instructions
