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.toml for [ui] — use user config.
