Feature request: jump/navigate between messages in the conversation
In long sessions there's no way to quickly move between messages in the transcript. Up/Down only recall previous input prompts; there's no shortcut to jump to the previous/next user message (or turn) in the conversation view.
Requesting
- Keyboard shortcut to jump to previous/next user message (e.g.
Ctrl+Up / Ctrl+DownorAlt+Up / Alt+Down). - Optionally jump between turn boundaries (user + assistant reply) rather than every tool block.
- Bindable via
~/.claude/keybindings.json.
Applies to
- VS Code extension
- Terminal CLI
Current workaround
Only Cmd+F search, which is slow when you just want to step back through your own messages.
