Composer

The composer is a text box for writing long prompts and commands, with files, images, and dictation. It sends to the active terminal, or to every visible terminal in the project. Handy for AI agents.

Use it

Action	Default shortcut
Open or close	`Ctrl+Shift+I`
Send and press Return	`Ctrl+Return`
Send without Return	`Ctrl+Shift+Return`
Close	`Esc`

Sending first clears the terminal’s prompt with Ctrl+U, in programs that support it.
With text selected, only the selection is sent.
Send to All Split Panes in the … menu sends to every pane you can see in the project. If one of them isn’t a live terminal, such as a kibble tab, nothing is sent.
A failed send keeps the draft. Some terminals may already have received it, so check before retrying.
Each project keeps its own draft, saved across restarts.

Files and images

Attach with Attach File, drag and drop, or paste.

Files are inserted as quoted paths.
Images appear as [Image N]. By default they are put on the clipboard and sent with Ctrl+V, which AI tools read. Set Settings → Composer → Image submission to paste file paths instead.
For remote terminals, attachments are uploaded and the remote path is sent.

Layout

The composer opens as a panel on the right or bottom, or as a floating box that closes after sending. Switch from its … menu, which also has Clear After Sending, Clear on Close, and Reset Composer Size. Ctrl+= and Ctrl+- change its font size.

Dictation

Dictation is not available on Windows yet.
