Auto-detected from `TERM_PROGRAM`; the toggle overrides the detection. The row is greyed out and forced off on terminals that don't speak any image protocol.
296296 - **auto-swarm** — let the main agent spawn background sub-agents in parallel via a built-in `swarm_spawn` tool. Off by default. When on, the tool is registered with the running agent, the system prompt gains a short addendum telling the model to delegate independent sub-tasks proactively, and zot watches every sub-agent the main agent spawns. As soon as the last sub-agent in a batch finishes its initial task, an `[auto-swarm update]` message is injected back into the chat with each agent's status / task / transcript tail, so the main agent can summarise the collective outcome. Flipping off mid-session removes the tool from the live agent and strips the addendum on the next turn — the model stops trying to delegate. See `/swarm` for the dashboard that lets you monitor, message, kill, or remove the spawned agents.

Keyboard shortcuts

Single-key shortcuts are on. ctrl k and esc work whatever this says.

ctrl k :
go to a section, branch, tag, file or repository
?
this list
j k
move the row cursor down / up
enter
open the row under the cursor; on Files, a directory opens or closes in place
↑ ↓ ← → home end
in the file tree (focus on a row): previous / next row, close / open a directory or go to its parent / first entry, first / last row. They never open a file
l h
on Files: open a directory or a file / close a directory or go up to its parent, then to the parent page. Elsewhere: into the side panel (on a merge request, its files) / back to the content; there j k move between its controls
g g G
first / last row
/
filter the list; on Files, find a file anywhere in the repository (esc clears, enter opens the best match)
b
switch branch or tag
g s g f g c g b g m g i g r g a
tabs: summary, files, commits, branches & tags, merge requests, issues, releases, actions (when available)
g h
home
w
wide mode: use the whole width of the screen, or not (remembered)
y
copy a permalink pinned to the commit
d u x
diff: split / unified / collapse or expand all
e E
diff: the whole file in view / every file, with the lines the hunks hide
n
merge request: next note in the diff
esc
close a dialog, leave a field
