Fold tool rows and collapsed edits in Grok Build

Long turns fill the TUI with consecutive read/search/list rows and multi-line edits. Official display switches live in the settings reference.

Fold consecutive tool rows

Default on. Consecutive read/search/list tool rows collapse into one summary.

User config:

[ui]
group_tool_verbs = true

Process override:

export GROK_GROUP_TOOL_VERBS=1

Set false / 0 when you need every tool row expanded for debugging.

Collapse edit blocks

Default off. When on, edits render as one-line +N/-M summaries.

[ui]
collapsed_edit_blocks = true

export GROK_COLLAPSED_EDIT_BLOCKS=1

Related density controls

Control	How	Notes
/compact-mode	Slash command	Denser message padding — also [ui] compact_mode
/multiline	Slash command	Multiline input
Thinking blocks	[ui] show_thinking_blocks	Show or hide thinking blocks

Project .grok/config.toml only contributes MCP, plugins, and permission rules — put [ui] in the user config.

Pitfalls

• Folding tool rows hides per-call detail until you expand or disable grouping; turn it off while chasing a flaky read or search.
• Collapsed edits summarize hunk size only; open the full diff when you need line-level review before approve.
