Prompt the agent

Send a messageCopy Anchor Link

Type in the prompt at the bottom and press enter. For a new line, press shift+enter or alt+enter, or end the line with \. The prompt grows up to 20 lines, then scrolls.

up and down go through the messages you sent before.

Steer while it worksCopy Anchor Link

The prompt stays open while the agent works. Press enter to steer: your message joins the turn, shows marked while working, and the agent reads it as soon as its current step is done.

use the existing TooManyRequests error, don't add a new one

To send something after the turn instead, press ctrl+q. The message waits above the prompt as queued: … and goes out on its own once the turn ends. If the turn is interrupted, queued messages come back into the prompt.

esc interrupts the turn.

Mention files with @Copy Anchor Link

Type @ and part of a name. Jinion completes the project's files and folders, the ones git tracks or could track, so ignored files stay out. Outside a git repository, it lists every file but folders such as node_modules and dist. The agent gets the file's content with your message, so it can work on it right away.

@src/middleware/rate-limit.ts add a test for the window reset

A folder goes in without a trailing space, so you can keep typing to go inside it.

Use a skill with $Copy Anchor Link

Type $ to pick a skill or an MCP prompt. The list is grouped by where each comes from: the project's first, then yours, then each plugin's and each MCP server's. It filters as you type.

Paste textCopy Anchor Link

Text of two lines or more goes in as [Pasted text #1 +42 lines], and a single line of 800 characters or more as [Pasted text #2 1200 chars]. The agent gets all of it. In the prompt, backspace removes the placeholder whole. Once sent, click the message to see the text in full.

Attach imagesCopy Anchor Link

Press ctrl+v to attach the image on your clipboard as [Image #1], or drag an image file into the terminal. PNG, JPEG, GIF and WebP work.
