## Keybindings
|
|
|
|
| Key | Action |
|
|
|-----|--------|
|
|
| `Enter` | Send message |
|
|
| `Alt+Enter` / `Ctrl+J` | New line (multi-line input) |
|
|
| `Alt+V` | Paste image from clipboard (see [Vision & Image Paste](/docs/user-guide/features/vision)) |
|
|
| `Ctrl+V` | Paste text + auto-check for clipboard image |
|
|
| `Ctrl+C` | Clear input/images, interrupt agent, or exit (contextual) |
|
|
| `Ctrl+D` | Exit |
|
|
| `Tab` | Autocomplete slash commands |
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
Commands are case-insensitive — `/HELP` works the same as `/help`.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
:::info Image paste keybindings
|
|
`Alt+V` works in most terminals but **not** in VSCode's integrated terminal (VSCode intercepts Alt+key combos). `Ctrl+V` only triggers an image check when the clipboard also contains text (terminals don't send paste events for image-only clipboard). The `/paste` command is the universal fallback. See the [full compatibility table](/docs/user-guide/features/vision#platform-compatibility).
