Release history
186 releasesReleases 78
-
Shift+Enter newlines in more terminals, plus steadier MCP connections
- New kittykeyboard = "query" UI setting lets Shift+Enter insert newlines in unidentified terminals
- MCP server connections no longer restart unnecessarily on session reloads or updates
- Footer context usage no longer drops to zero or shows stale values after a rewind
- Ctrl+L works on more screens, and copy hints now match what actually goes to the clipboard
- Rows in the /resume list expand and collapse the same way they do inside a session
-
Broken permission rules now warn, plus whole-prompt cursor jumps
- Permission rules that fail to load, such as invalid JSON in .claude/settings.json, now show a warning when a session opens instead of being skipped silently
- Cmd+Up/Down and Ctrl+Home/End jump to the start or end of the whole prompt, and with Shift they select to there
- Ctrl+L in the scrollback quotes the selected message or text into the prompt, and Extensions now opens with /plugins
- grok --resume <id> opens the session in the folder it was recorded in, wherever you launch Grok from
- Many fixes for narrow terminals, Windows consoles, emoji widths, rejected edits and hooks that are disabled per project
-
@ paths outside the workspace, editable file picks and many fixes
- @ paths starting with /, ~/ or ../ now list files outside the workspace, and picked @ files can be edited in place in the prompt
- Shell approval cards say when Auto-review blocked or could not review a command, with Ctrl+F showing the reviewer's explanation
- Shift+Enter inserts a newline in VS Code and other xterm.js terminals, and quotes in replies get a Copy button
- Installers and grok update keep the working install when a download is empty, blocked or fails its checks
- Faster resume on large session stores, lower memory and CPU use, and fixes for paste freezes and typing lag
-
Multiline-by-default setting, Gruvbox theme and smarter auto-updates
- New setting starts sessions and the dashboard in multiline mode, where Enter inserts a newline
- Automatic updates stop retrying a version that fails to start on this machine and point you to grok update
- New Gruvbox dark theme (gruvbox-dark-hard), selectable with /theme
- Page Up, Page Down, Home and End now move the selection in /skills and other pickers
- Fixes for --restore-code stashing, Windows shortcuts and exit, and transcript display
-
Clickable file paths, PR numbers and subagent ids in output
- Relative file paths, subagent and task ids, and pull-request numbers in the agent's output now open on click
- Subagents named in a reply show their label and link to their transcript
- Workflow runs detail view adds keyboard navigation between phases and agents
- MCP tool results from FastMCP or the official SDK are sent once instead of twice, using about half the context
- Delete confirmation now starts on Cancel, so pressing Enter no longer deletes the session
-
Experimental vim editing in the prompt and fail-closed hooks
- Experimental vim editing in the prompt: set [keys] vim = "all" in config.toml for Normal and Insert modes, with motions, operators, counts and undo
- Hooks accept "failClosed": true, so the tool call is denied or the prompt is blocked if the hook times out or crashes
- New ui.singlectrlcquit setting lets one Ctrl+C quit when nothing would be lost, but by default you still press it twice
- Hovering an image chip in the transcript shows the image that was sent, or why it was not attached
- Images the server rejects are now removed from the conversation, so the left-out-images notice no longer repeats on every turn
-
Dashboard groups agents by folder and resumes sessions from any folder
- Dashboard now groups agents under folder headers that show the path and agent count
- /resume on the dashboard lists sessions from every folder, with the current folder and its checkouts first
- Branch and folder location moved onto the dispatch box's top border
- The [ui] simplemode setting is retired and sessions always open with the prompt focused
- grok doctor and /doctor flag the outdated [ui] vimmode key (now [keys] vim) and the retired simplemode key
-
Clearer worktree copy reports and a single setting for Vim navigation
- Worktree create and fork now list files that could not be copied and any mode changes that were lost
- Vim navigation is now one setting, [keys] vim (off or nav), also set with /vim-mode; the older [ui] vimmode still works
- Terminal theme draws a subtle band behind your prompts, and the mode-switch toast shows the mode name in that mode's color
- Image placeholders in the transcript now show whether the image itself was sent or only text was typed
- Fixes: worktree create fails cleanly when copying fails or the disk is full, and running sessions survive an update deleting their binary
-
Worktrees reuse the main checkout's saved tool approvals
- Worktrees now use saved "always allow" answers from the main checkout; turn this off with worktreeinheritsmainapprovals = false
- With vim mode on, Tab moves focus to the scrollback; the right arrow or Ctrl+Right accepts a suggestion and Esc dismisses it
- Headless grok -p runs now exit when finished instead of hanging after a background task or subagent completes
- The Settings theme picker restores your previous theme if you leave it without pressing Enter
- Quitting a session that has hooks configured is faster
-
Smarter /resume search that finds sessions across folders
- /resume search now finds sessions from other folders, tolerates typos, and matches commands, file paths and replies in a session

- --permission-mode plan now starts the session in plan mode as documented
- Dashboard Ctrl+L folder picker lists up to 50 recent folders instead of 10, and grok --help gives one-line summaries
-
Untrusted folders hold back non-managed hooks until you trust them

- Auto mode skips review for a shell command only when every command in it matches an allowlist entry, and asks first for anything else
- /resume loads older sessions when you reach the last row and shows how many sessions are loaded
- Worktree names keep Unicode letters, and names that are already taken or start with a dash are refused
- HTTP connections, including remote MCP servers, accept gzip, brotli, zstd and deflate compressed responses
-
Concise memory index always on, plus per-session Rex status reporting
- Memory always uses the concise MEMORY.md index, and /memory lists topics by how often Grok reads them; compactindexenabled no longer has an effect
- Rex terminal support reports each open session and running subagent as its own record, with an option to report only the main status
- Command hooks accept an args list to run a program directly without a shell, with hook variables filled in each argument
- grok worktree list and show flag worktrees with missing folders or moved source repositories and suggest a repair
- Plan reviews no longer treat typed letters as shortcuts like approve, and /fork keeps the model and effort set with -m or --effort
-
Smarter session resume with word matching and direct opening by ID or name

- Shift+Y in the fullscreen markdown viewer copies the code block under the cursor
- Resuming with a title that matches no local session now reports the miss right away instead of trying a remote restore and asking you to sign in
- Esc on the first question in a session opened from the dashboard now moves focus to the scrollback instead of returning to the dashboard
-
Copy buttons on code blocks and fuzzier session resume by title
- Copy buttons now appear under code blocks in finished replies, labeled with the code's language or file name
- grok --resume <title> matches titles whatever separates the words, so fix-login-bug finds "Fix login bug"
- Hooks that return continue: false now stop the turn instead of being ignored
- /loop without a prompt shows its usage instead of starting a new session
- Copying a code block or reply keeps original tabs, plus fixes for dashboard peek replies, worktree rm and PowerShell hooks
-
Resume a session by ID or title, plus worktree fork fixes
- /resume takes an optional session ID or title and opens the picker filtered to matching sessions
- Worktree forks (grok -w -r or /fork into a worktree) now run in the worktree, so shell commands no longer edit the original checkout
- Prompts sent while a session is resuming at startup are queued and sent once it loads
