(ux/docs) Expand full executed shell commands + document Ctrl+F shortcut (ctrl+o equivalent to claude code) #3139

Description

@MakDizdar

What would you like to be added?

Two related improvements to usability and documentation:

1. Expand / toggle visibility for executed shell commands

Currently, when the agent executes long or chained shell commands (e.g. using &&), the command string is truncated in the UI. There is no way to expand or view the full command.

This becomes problematic when:

  • Commands are long and contain multiple chained operations
  • The user wants to audit or reproduce what was executed
  • Debugging requires seeing the full command

Proposed Solution:

  • Add a toggle (e.g. via keybinding or UI control) to expand/collapse the full command
  • The focused window could open in a new window/pane/buffer similar to tmux sessions with tmux binding Ctrl+b s to switch between selected focused windows. tmux requires no gui, can be ran in serial console.
  • Alternatively, provide a “verbose transcript” mode similar to other CLIs such as Ctrl+o keybinding in Claude Code (toggle verbose transcript).
  • Ensure the full raw command is always accessible

2. Document existing Ctrl+F keybinding

The Ctrl+f keybinding (for focusing/searching within the window) is currently not documented in the official docs:

Qwen Code Docs keyboard shortcuts page

Proposed solution:

Add Ctrl+F (and any related search/focus shortcuts) to the keyboard shortcuts documentation
Ensure consistency between implemented shortcuts and documented ones

Why is this needed?

Auditing mostly, it

  • Improves transparency of agent actions
  • Reduces friction when working with long or complex commands

Additional context

The issue is visible in the UI where executed commands are shown (see highlighted/red-marked area in the attached image).
