Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

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

Section/Topic

The Use the mouse section, plus select-menu related docs such as keybindings, /model, and /config.

Current Documentation

The fullscreen mouse section lists clickable fullscreen behaviors, but not generic select menus:

Fullscreen rendering captures mouse events and handles them inside Claude Code: Click in the prompt input to position your cursor anywhere in the text you're typing. Click a suggestion in the / command or @ file list to accept it. Hovering highlights the row under your cursor. Click a collapsed tool result to expand it and see the full output. Click again to collapse. The tool call and its result expand together. Only messages that have more to show are clickable. Hold Cmd on macOS, or Ctrl on Linux and Windows, and click a URL or file path to open it. Click and drag to select text anywhere in the conversation. Scroll with the mouse wheel to move through the conversation.

The keybindings page shows select-menu contexts and keyboard actions, but not mouse click behavior.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Claude Code v2.1.187 added mouse click support to select menus in fullscreen mode, including permission prompts, /model, /config, and similar menus.

The docs currently imply mouse click support is limited to prompt input, slash-command and @ suggestions, collapsed tool results, links, text selection, and wheel scrolling. They do not tell users that fullscreen select/list menus can now be operated by mouse click.

Suggested Improvement

Add a bullet to Use the mouse in the fullscreen docs:

Click options in select menus such as permission prompts, /model, /config, and other list dialogs to select or activate the highlighted option. Requires Claude Code v2.1.187 or later.

Optionally add a short note in the keybindings Select actions section saying that select/list components also support mouse clicks in fullscreen rendering as of v2.1.187.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand

Additional Context

v2.1.187 changelog context: Added mouse click support to select menus (permission prompts, /model, /config, etc.) in fullscreen mode.

Duplicate-title check found related open issue #60691, but it covers slash command and @ suggestion lists only, not the broader v2.1.187 select-menu behavior.
