Toggle mouse reporting in Grok Build scrollback
Toggle mouse reporting in Grok Build scrollback
mouse_reporting_toggle under [ui] lets Ctrl+R in scrollback turn terminal mouse capture on or off. Default is off. Official: Settings reference.
Enable the shortcut
User config (~/.grok/config.toml or $GROK_HOME/config.toml):
[ui]
mouse_reporting_toggle = true
Process override:
export GROK_MOUSE_REPORTING_TOGGLE=1
Use false / 0 to disable the Ctrl+R toggle.
When it helps
Terminal mouse capture can steal clicks you meant for the host terminal (selection, paste, pane focus). With the toggle on, press Ctrl+R while focused in scrollback to flip capture for that moment, then flip it back.

Pitfalls
- Putting
[ui]in project.grok/config.toml— user config only. - Expecting Ctrl+R to work while the key is still
false— enablemouse_reporting_togglefirst.
