Feature request
The new fullscreen scroll layout (with auto-copy on mouse selection) is nice, but keyboard support for scroll/select is limited.
Problem
From chat input, there is no keyboard-only path to enter scroll/select mode. Mouse wheel or click-drag is required to shift focus into the Scroll context.
Even the Scroll-context bindings exposed via ~/.claude/keybindings.json (scroll:lineUp/Down, selection:extendLeft/Right, selection:copy) do not appear to fire reliably in practice — focus stays with the chat input.
Ask
- Add a bindable action to enter scroll/select mode from chat (e.g.
scroll:enter/focus:scroll). - Make the existing
Scroll-context bindings actually work once focus is in the scroll view, so users can navigate and select via keyboard only (no mouse).
Env
