Using the TUI

The terminal interface is keyboard-first. Here's what you need to move fast — the leader key, the shortcuts that matter, and the slash commands built in.

The leader key

Most shortcuts are chords that begin with the leader key, ctrl+x. Press it, release, then press the next key. For example ctrl+x then n starts a new session. If you ever forget a binding, press ctrl+alt+k for the which-key helper, or ctrl+p to open the command palette and search every action.

Essential keybindings

Keys	Action
`ctrl+p`	Command palette — search and run any action
`ctrl+x` `n`	New session
`ctrl+x` `l`	Session list
`tab` / `shift+tab`	Next / previous agent (e.g. build ↔ plan)
`ctrl+x` `m`	Model list
`ctrl+t`	Cycle model reasoning variants
`ctrl+x` `c`	Compact the current session (free up context)
`escape`	Interrupt the agent mid-run
`ctrl+x` `b`	Toggle the sidebar
`ctrl+x` `t`	Switch theme
`ctrl+x` `y`	Copy the last message
`ctrl+x` `q`	Quit

Everything is remappable

Don't like a binding? Override any of them under the keybinds key in your config file — see Configuration.

Reviewing diffs

When the agent proposes edits you get a diff viewer. Move between changes with ] and [ (hunks) or n and p (files), toggle split vs unified with v, open the file tree with b, and press ? for the full in-viewer help.

Slash commands

Type / at the start of a message to run a command. Built-ins:

Command	What it does
/init	Guided setup of an AGENTS.md file so the agent knows your project conventions
/review	Review changes — defaults to uncommitted; also accepts a commit, branch, or PR
/goal	Set a persistent objective the agent keeps working toward (see Features)
/models	Open the model picker to list and switch AI models (also bound to <leader> m)

Your own custom commands, Skills, and MCP prompts also appear here — start typing and press tab to autocomplete.
