The interactive autocomplete is the source of truth for commands in the installed version.

Keyboard basics

• Enter sends a prompt or accepts the selected action.
• Up/Down navigate autocomplete and permission choices.
• PageUp/PageDown scroll the transcript.
• F1–F9 edit visible Thor session controls.
• F10 toggles help.
• Esc dismisses autocomplete, clears input, or cancels a permission prompt.
• Ctrl-C cancels the active Thor or Eitri request; idle Ctrl-C quits.
• Ctrl-D quits when input is empty.
• Ctrl-R starts or stops microphone dictation when the voice worker is available.

Long permission commands, descriptions, and options must remain reachable; a truncated prompt is a UI bug, not an instruction to guess.
