What's Wrong?

When browsing a large plugin marketplace (e.g., https://github.com/wshobson/agents.git with 62 plugins), the list navigation has a scrolling issue that makes it difficult to browse marketplaces with more than 10 or so plugins in list

Current behavior:

• The plugins get listed and if entire is screen is full, it scrolls to bottom
• To see which plugin is selected by arrow key you need to scroll up
• After pressing down arrow, the list immediately auto-scrolls back to the bottom
• The selected item is no longer visible
• This happens repeatedly, making it impossible to browse the full list with keyboard navigation

What Should Happen?

Expected behavior:

• The list should auto-scroll to keep the currently selected item visible
• When navigating with arrow keys, the view should follow the selection
• Similar to standard terminal UI list behavior where the selected item stays in view

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run /plugin command
2. Select a marketplace with many plugins (62+ in this case)
3. The list initially displays at the bottom of the list (see screenshot 1)
4. Manually scroll up to see the top of the list
5. Press the down arrow key to navigate to the next item

Additional Information

Environment:

• OS: macOS (Darwin 24.6.0)
• Claude Code version: [run claude --version in terminal]
• Marketplace URL: https://github.com/wshobson/agents.git
• Number of plugins: 62

Impact:

This makes it very difficult to browse and discover plugins in larger marketplaces, as keyboard navigation is effectively broken.

A good example is https://github.com/wshobson/agents repo which has over 70+ plugins. Try adding plugins from this repo and see how cumbersome it is to add multiple plugins.

got the same issue on win11 + WSL. happy to see this is a cross platform bug - makes the likelihood of a fix higher.

I'm running claude code on macos, Ghostty or Apple Terminal both observe the same thing when I navigate to /plugins > browse and install plugins

Same thing happening for me on Win 11, Ubuntu 24 and latest MacOS whatever terminal I use. It's pretty troublesome to get things installed. Maybe someone found a workaround until we get a proper fix?
