How to exit

[FujiwaraChoki]

How do I exit "--TERMINAL--" mode without having to touch the mouse, is there a shortcut?

If it is using standard terminal. Then Ctrl+w followed by Shift+N pauses the terminal mode. To get back you can type i.

I opened a pull request to place the cursor chat window in a split. When it is in a split you can navigate back and forth as with any split and use the same invocation hotkey to toggle the split on or off without losing your conversation, feel free to try my branch or fork and leave feedback in the pr here

I've added this to my mapping in Neovim (note my setup still uses vimscript). I use jk/kj mash instead of <Esc> as I might have fzf or other things running in terminal that I want <Esc> for.

" In terminal-mode: Ctrl-h/j/k/l exits terminal mode and moves windows
tnoremap <silent> <C-h> <C-\><C-n><C-w>h
tnoremap <silent> <C-j> <C-\><C-n><C-w>j
tnoremap <silent> <C-k> <C-\><C-n><C-w>k
tnoremap <silent> <C-l> <C-\><C-n><C-w>l

" Terminal mode: make jk/kj  leave terminal-mode
tnoremap jk <C-\><C-n>
tnoremap kj <C-\><C-n>

Didn't try but similar controls in Lua

-- Exit terminal mode and move windows in one go
vim.keymap.set("t", "<C-h>", [[<C-\><C-n><C-w>h]])
vim.keymap.set("t", "<C-j>", [[<C-\><C-n><C-w>j]])
vim.keymap.set("t", "<C-k>", [[<C-\><C-n><C-w>k]])
vim.keymap.set("t", "<C-l>", [[<C-\><C-n><C-w>l]])

-- Optional: fast escape from terminal mode
vim.keymap.set("t", "<Esc>", [[<C-\><C-n>]])
