Keybindings
Common TUI bindings (exact keys may vary by terminal; see in-app footer / help):
| Binding | Action |
|---|---|
| Enter | Send prompt |
| Shift+Enter / multi-line paste | Multiline input (terminal-dependent) |
| Ctrl+C | Abort active turn |
Ctrl+D / /exit / :q | Quit (:q! force-quits mid-turn) |
| Ctrl+L | Clear / focus helpers (context-dependent) |
| Shift+Tab | Cycle thinking level |
| Ctrl+V / Cmd+V | Paste image or clipboard text |
| Esc | Close dialog / picker |
/ at prompt start | Open slash command palette |
Model selector, provider connect, and rename dialogs have additional keys shown in their footers.
When the clipboard contains an image, Elph stages it asynchronously and inserts an atomic [Image #N] marker. When it contains long text and ui.atomicPaste is enabled, Elph inserts an atomic [Paste#N: N lines] marker instead. Move the caret onto a marker to open its preview; press Enter or Ctrl+O to expand a text paste marker in place.
