| In the session picker, press **`s`** to cycle the sort order: relevance, last used, created, or name. The picker also shows the branch name and idle/in-use status for each session. | ||
|
|
||
| The `/rewind` command opens a timeline picker that lets you roll back the conversation to any earlier point in history, reverting both the conversation and any file changes made after that point. You can also trigger it by pressing **double-Esc**: | ||
| **Sessions Sidebar** *(v1.0.76+, experimental)*: The Sessions Sidebar is a persistent panel for managing multiple concurrent sessions — switch between them, spawn new ones, and see their status at a glance, all without leaving your current session. Enable it with `/experimental on`, then toggle it on: |

| ### Enabling and Disabling Plugin Components | ||
|
|
||
| *(v1.0.76+)* The `/plugins` command (or `copilot plugin list` in non-interactive mode) now includes **enable/disable toggles** for individual plugin components. You can turn off specific agents, instructions, hooks, LSP servers, or entire plugins without uninstalling them: |
|
|
||
| **Keyboard shortcuts for queuing messages**: Use **Ctrl+Q** or **Ctrl+Enter** to queue a message (send it while the agent is still working). **Ctrl+D** no longer queues messages — it now has its default terminal behavior. If you have muscle memory for Ctrl+D queuing, switch to Ctrl+Q. | ||
|
|
||
| **Directable queue manager** *(v1.0.76+)*: While the agent is working, you can manage your queued messages before they are sent. Open the queue manager to **reorder**, **edit**, **remove**, or **repeat** queued messages — even send one immediately out of turn. This is useful when you think of a better follow-up mid-run or want to reprioritize what the agent works on next. |
