Keyboard shortcuts
Press F1, or click the ? in the header, to see the shortcut list in the app at any time. It opens with a link to this guide online. On macOS, ⌘ is the Cmd key and ⌥ the Option key.

Recall what you sent
Up recalls your last message when the cursor is on the first line of the input box, and each press goes one further back; Down goes forward again, and past the newest brings back whatever you had typed. In a message with several lines, the arrows move the cursor until it reaches the first or last line. In the Shell tab, only your question comes back, not the shell output sent with it. Edit a recalled message and press Enter to send it as a new one.
The / command list
Typing / at the start of the Chat, Shell or Code input box opens a list of commands and skills (see the skills page). While it is open:
| Keys |
What it does |
| Up / Down arrows |
Move through the list |
| Enter or Tab |
Pick the highlighted item |
| Esc |
Close the list and keep your text |
Dialogs
| Keys |
What it does |
| Esc |
Close the logs, the image viewer or the shortcuts list |
Some dialogs ignore Esc on purpose. Run this command? (command approval) and other approval windows wait for you to pick a button, so a stray key never answers for you.
