Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

Section/Topic

Side questions with /btw, specifically the answer overlay key table.

Current Documentation

The docs describe the /btw answer overlay and its keys:

Once the answer appears, the overlay accepts these keys. Earlier side questions from the same session appear as a dimmed list above the current answer; they stay out of the conversation history but remain visible in the overlay until you clear them.

The current key table documents dismiss, scroll, copy, fork, and clear actions, but not left/right navigation.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Claude Code v2.1.187 says: Improved /btw with ←/→ arrow navigation to step through earlier answers.

The current /btw docs mention that earlier side questions appear above the current answer, but they do not document that users can press left/right arrows to step through earlier answers.

Suggested Improvement

Add a row to the /btw answer overlay key table in https://code.claude.com/docs/en/interactive-mode:

| Key | Action |
| --- | --- |
| Left / Right | Step backward or forward through earlier /btw answers in the overlay |

If the docs use version metadata for new behavior, include min-version: 2.1.187.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
