[FEATURE]: Add progressive scroll navigation buttons to TUI session view #23845
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
What: Add two scroll navigation buttons (▲ / ▼) on the right side of the TUI session view to quickly jump between user messages and return to the bottom.
Why: In long sessions with many back-and-forth messages, scrolling manually to find previous user prompts is tedious. A quick navigation mechanism improves productivity when reviewing or editing prior prompts.
How it should work:
-
▲ Up arrow — Jump to the previous user message progressively:
- 1st click → jumps to the user message immediately above the current scroll position
- 2nd click → jumps to the user message before that
- Continues until reaching the first user message in the session
-
▼ Down arrow — Scroll to the bottom of the session:
- Appears only when the view is scrolled up (hidden when already at the bottom)
- Clicking it resets the progressive navigation state
Benefits:
- Faster navigation in long sessions
- Reduces manual scrolling
- Progressive navigation lets users walk through their own prompts in chronological order
- Make reviewing the task easier.

The underlying navigation behavior already exists through the configurable messages_previous / messages_next commands, and End (messages_last) returns to the bottom.
The remaining request is specifically for visible, clickable navigation controls. That substantially overlaps with:
Closing this as a duplicate of [FEATURE]:Can you add a one-click navigation for each round of messages? Scrolling through the messages is too difficult. #23433.
