The queue
Everything that needs you becomes a card. aq shows one card at a time, and the top bar counts the cards behind it.
Order
Cards are shown in this order:
- Permission prompts and Claude's option menus. A session is stuck until you answer these.
- Step and shell-change cards, grouped by project.
- Everything else (reviews, questions, quizzes, messages), oldest first.
A card that comes in while you are on another one joins the queue. It never takes the screen from the card you are on.
Moving cards
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
Space | Skip the card for now. It goes to the back of its group. |
B | Move the card to the back of the whole queue, behind every other card. |
x | On a question card: stash it. S lists stashed questions. |
Answered elsewhere
If you answer a card's prompt in the session's own window instead, the card stays, marked "answered elsewhere", until you press a key. That way a card never disappears from under you.
The 1.5 second guard
A card that takes the screen by itself ignores deciding keys (such as y, n and a) for 1.5 seconds. A key you meant for the previous card does not answer the new one by accident.
When nothing is waiting
With an empty queue, aq shows the sessions view: a tab per session, with the picked session's screen live underneath.
