Ctrl+O opens a transcript viewer with timestamps and the model per message.
Useful to check which model answered and when.
Ctrl+S stashes your prompt text and restores it on the next empty prompt.
It works in ! shell mode too.
Ctrl+V pastes an image as an [Image #N] chip you can refer to by number.
You can then say "compare Image 1 and Image 2".
Option+P switches model, Option+T toggles thinking, Option+O toggles fast mode.
On macOS, set Option as Meta in your terminal first. The thinking toggle has no effect on models that always think.
Ctrl+B sends a running command or agent to the background.
tmux users press it twice. /tasks manages what is running.
Ctrl+W deletes a whole path or --flag=value in one press.
Ctrl+Y pastes it back, and Alt+Y cycles through older deletions.
Esc interrupts Claude but keeps the work done; Ctrl+C escalates.
Ctrl+C interrupts, then clears input, then exits on the second press.
/statusline writes a status line script from a plain-language request.
The script receives session JSON on stdin, including context percentage, cost and rate limits.
