Composer

The textarea at the bottom of the overlay. Plain text, image attachments, skill attachments, and caret-anchored autocomplete from multiple sources.

Autocomplete

Type	When	What it does
Skills	#<query> at a word boundary	Picks a skill; attaches its content to your next prompt as context.
Paths	./ / ~/ / /<path> at a word boundary	Inserts the resolved absolute path.
Commands	/<query> at the start of a message	Slash commands (e.g. /clear).
Word search	Tab or Ctrl+Space (3+ chars typed)	Inserts a matching word from your cwd files or the current transcript.

Keymap

Key	Closed	Open
Type a sigil (#, /, ./)	Opens with that source	Refines the query
Tab	Opens word search	Commits highlighted row
Ctrl+Space	Force-opens at the caret	Commits highlighted row
↑ / ↓	Walks composer history	Navigate rows
Enter	Submits the message	Commits highlighted row
Esc	(falls through)	Closes the popover
Backspace past the sigil	n/a	Closes the popover

Attachments

• Images. Drag image files in from your file manager or Ctrl+P to paste from clipboard. They're encoded inline as PNG.
• Skills. Pick one via Ctrl+K → skills or the #<name> sigil. The skill content rides on your next prompt — the agent reads it as context before your instructions.

Submit + queue

Enter sends. If a turn is already running, the prompt queues above the composer — you can edit or delete queued items before they fire. Ctrl+Enter dispatches the next queued item manually.

Tuning autocomplete

If word-search is too eager (or too lazy):

[completion.ripgrep]
auto = true              # auto-trigger on typing
debounceMs = 80          # wait this long before firing
minPrefix = 3            # don't trigger on 1-2 char queries
