Problem Statement
Description:
Description
/history in Claude Code CLI only shows the last 100 entries.
The full history file (~/.claude/history.jsonl) stores all entries without issue.
This is a feature request to make the limit configurable.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.278
- OS: Windows 11
Proposed Solution
Suggested Solution
Add a setting in ~/.claude/settings.json to control the limit, e.g.:
{
"historyDisplayLimit": 200
}
Or expose it as a flag like /history --limit
