Keyboard companions
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Focus scrollback | Tab (moves focus between prompt and scrollback) |
| Search scrollback in vim mode | / after enabling /vim-mode (or vim_mode = true under [ui] in ~/.grok/config.toml) |
| Search prompt history | Ctrl+R |
| Page scrollback | Page Up / Page Down, or Ctrl+U / Ctrl+D for half pages |
Bare-letter vim keys need vim mode on; arrow keys still work without it.
Pitfalls
- Expecting
/findto search files on disk — it searches conversation scrollback, not the repo. - Mixing prompt-history
Ctrl+Rwith scrollback search — different surfaces. - Forgetting
Tabbefore scrollback navigation when the prompt still has focus.
