Feature Request: Add /messages command to browse conversation history
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Jun 6, 2026 by JINGMINGRUO Closed Jul 12, 2026
Problem
Currently there is no built-in command to browse all messages in the current conversation. Users have to rely on terminal scrollback (Shift+Page Up/Down), which is limited by the terminal's scrollback buffer size.
The command can list messages, but it's designed for rewinding, not viewing — using it just to read old messages is confusing and risky (accidental rewind).
Suggestion
Add a or slash command that:
- Lists all user and assistant messages in the current session
- Supports arrow key navigation (↑/↓)
- Supports jumping between user messages ({/})
- Supports search/filter keywords
- View-only, no side effects (unlike /rewind)
Why
As conversations get long, it becomes difficult to find what was discussed earlier. A dedicated message browser would greatly improve the user experience.
Thanks for building Claude Code! 🙏
