The status bar shows: model · approval mode · context % · elapsed

Layout

• Top panel — conversation history. Scrollable; supports syntax-highlighted code blocks, rendered markdown, and collapsible tool-call summaries.
• Status bar — live view of model, approval mode, context usage, and inference time.
• Input — multi-line editor with history, tab-completion for slash commands and @file paths, and reverse-search (Ctrl+R).

Starting a conversation

Just type and press Enter. Koda streams the response in real time. While inference is running, Esc or Ctrl+C cancel the current turn.

See slash commands for all in-session commands and keybindings for the full keyboard reference.
