⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts

HelseCLI uses several keyboard shortcuts to improve your workflow safety and speed.

Keyboard Shortcut Reference

HelseCLI utilizes a standardized set of keyboard shortcuts to enhance operational efficiency and session safety.

These markers are used during active tool utilization or high-autonomy sessions.

Shortcut	Function	Description
`Ctrl + C`	Interrupt	Immediately terminates the current tool execution or inference cycle.
`Ctrl + D`	Suspend / Resume	Pauses the autonomous execution loop. Toggle again to resume operations.
`Ctrl + S`	Commit & Resume	Persists the current session state and proceeds with the task chain.

Command	Function	Description
`!pause` / `!flow`	Pause-on-Output Toggle	Enables manual verification after each command execution within autonomous sessions.
`!a`	Agent Mode Toggle	Enables autonomous, multi-stage planning and execution logic.
`!steps`	Audit Trail Retrieval	Displays a chronological log of all tool invocations in the current session.

HelseCLI integrates with the Prompt Toolkit framework, supporting standardized readline interface shortcuts.

Shortcut	Function	Description
`Ctrl + L`	Buffer Clear	Clears the current terminal display buffer.
`Ctrl + A`	Cursor Home	Transitions the cursor to the initial prompt position.
`Ctrl + E`	Cursor End	Transitions the cursor to the terminal position of the current prompt.
`Ctrl + U`	Line Reset	Deletes the current input buffer.
`Up / Down`	Search History	Navigate through the prompt command history.

Navigation: Utilize the host terminal's scroll functionality to inspect long audit logs and expansive AI responses.
Data Transfer: Standard terminal interaction patterns (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+C / Ctrl+Shift+V) are supported for localized data movement.

In the event of system non-responsiveness:

Execute Ctrl+C to interrupt the current logic state.
Execute a triple Ctrl+C sequence to force termination of the primary process.
If utilizing Containerized Isolation, manual termination of the sandbox container may be required: docker stop helse-sandbox.
