Compose a request

Open Composer

Use the Composer shortcut configured in Settings. The quick input window normally appears beside the pointer; alternative positions are available in Settings. The Notch provides another entry to the new-conversation draft.

Opening Composer does not mean clipboard content is automatically sent. Review the visible text and attachments before sending.

Write and refine

• Return sends. Shift, Option, or Control + Return inserts a new line. Confirming an input-method candidate does not send the request.
• Use Markdown for structure. Use @ to choose an available Skill or a Team member where supported.
• Use the + menu to add context or insert a Favorite Prompt. Prompts with variables ask for the required values before insertion; insertion does not send.
• In an empty Composer, Up and Down browse recent prompts from this app session.

Keep separate drafts

Each existing conversation keeps its own draft. New conversation, quick Composer, and Notch share the new-conversation draft. Hiding and reopening the interface does not discard that draft.

Choose the Assistant and, for Agent work, the workspace before the first message. Changing the Assistant can change the available model options and attachment handling.

An empty, unfocused Composer collapses to its toolbar to leave more room for reading. Click it or type a letter, number or symbol in the active pane to expand and start writing. Shortcuts and other text fields keep their normal behavior. Collapsing does not move the message scroll anchor.
