++In `mm -tui` the same commands exist; `/abort` when idle prints `⚠️ No generation in progress.` as a notice, and the picker opened by `/` lists them — see [The three pickers](#the-three-pickers).
  `/quit` and `/abort` take effect **immediately**, even while a turn is running. Every other command and every question waits for the turn to end, because it needs the history the turn is still writing. See [Leaving a turn that will not stop](#leaving-a-turn-that-will-not-stop).
  | `Ctrl-J`, `Alt-Enter` | Inserts a newline in the box. |
  | `Esc` | Cancels the running turn (same as `/abort`); closes the picker; rejects a pending permission. |
  | `Ctrl-C` | Cancels the running turn; quits when idle — and quits too when the turn has already been asked to stop and has not. |
--| `Tab` | Moves the focus between the box and the conversation; completes the picker's choice when it is open. |
++| `Tab` | Moves the focus between the box and the conversation; completes the picker's choice when it is open (`/`, `@` or `$`). |
  | `↑` `↓` | In the box: move between its rows — a long line wraps at spaces into several rows — and scroll the conversation from its first/last row. On the conversation: scroll one line. In the picker: move the choice. |
  | `PgUp` `PgDn` | Scroll one page. |
  | `Home` `End` | In the box: start/end of the line. On the conversation: top / bottom (bottom resumes following). |
  Leaving this way does not wait for the stuck job: the session file holds everything saved up to the last completed turn.
++## The three pickers
++
++A popup opens over the conversation as you type one of three triggers, and narrows as you type more. **Tab** completes the highlighted row, **↑/↓** move, **Esc** dismisses it until the text changes.
++
++| Trigger | Offers | Where it works | What Tab writes |
++|---|---|---|---|
++| `/` | the window's commands | only as the whole first word of the box — a command *is* the message | the command, replacing the box, with a space when it takes an argument |
++| `@` | files and directories under the working directory | anywhere in a sentence | the path with its `@` kept. A **directory** gets a trailing `/` and no space, so Tab again walks down the tree; a **file** gets a space, so the sentence continues |
++| `$` | the skills of the catalogue | anywhere in a sentence | `$name` — the `$` **kept** — plus a space, with the cursor after it, ready for the skill's parameters |
++
++Three rules keep the popup out of the way:
++
++- A trigger glued to the end of a word is not a trigger: `bob@example.com` opens nothing, and neither does `5$`.
++- `@` hides dotfiles until you type the `.` yourself.
++- `$` offers nothing when no skill matches, so `echo $HOME` and `$PATH` are left alone.
++
++`Enter` on a `@` or `$` token completes it rather than sending: the message is not finished. `Enter` on a command whose name is already complete sends it.
++
++### What `$name` does when sent
++
++`$greetings Bob Morane` appends one line to what the model reads, the same way `@path` appends an attachment line:
++
++```
++use $greetings Bob Morane
++[skill: greetings — load it with read_skill and carry out its steps now; parameters: Bob Morane]
++```
++
++The parameters are the rest of the line. The model still makes the `read_skill` call itself, so the loop detector, the permission gate and the `📖 N skill(s)` recap all see it — `mm` does not load the skill behind the model's back.
++
++The notation works in the line mode and over ACP too, typed by hand: a `$skill` means the same thing wherever it is written, as `@path` does. A `$name` that matches no skill is left alone, and a `$` inside a collapsed paste is not looked up.
