Combine queued prompts in Grok Build
Combine queued prompts in Grok Build
When combine_queued_prompts is on, consecutive plain follow-ups waiting in the prompt queue merge into one turn instead of running as separate turns. Official: Settings reference. Listing what is waiting stays on /queue: List queued prompts with /queue in Grok Build.
Turn it on
User config (~/.grok/config.toml or $GROK_HOME/config.toml):
[ui]
combine_queued_prompts = true
Default is false (each queued follow-up is its own turn).
How queuing still works
| Control | Role |
|---|---|
| Type while a turn runs | Line up the next prompt |
Ctrl+; or Ctrl+' |
Toggle the prompt queue |
/queue |
Inspect waiting prompts |
combine_queued_prompts = true |
Merge consecutive plain follow-ups into one turn when they run |
Use combine when you fire several short clarifications mid-turn and want one combined reply. Leave it off when each queued line must stay a separate turn (different tools, different stop conditions).
Cancel vs combine
Canceling the live turn (Esc / Ctrl+C) advances the queue sooner; it does not itself merge prompts. Subagent cancel policy is a different [ui] key (cancel_subagents_on_turn_cancel) — not this setting.
Pitfalls
- Expecting slash commands or special queue entries to merge the same way as plain text follow-ups — the setting targets consecutive plain follow-ups.
- Editing project
.grok/config.tomlfor[ui]— use user config.
