TUI

clawzero features a Claude Code-style inline terminal UI. The TUI grows in-place without taking over the full screen — confirmed output scrolls into terminal history while the live viewport shows only active content.

Keybindings

KeyAction
EnterSend message
Ctrl+JInsert newline
Ctrl+A / HomeMove cursor to beginning of line
Ctrl+E / EndMove cursor to end of line
Ctrl+KDelete from cursor to end of line
Ctrl+WDelete word before cursor
Ctrl+CQuit
/exit, /quitQuit

Auto-detection

The TUI is enabled by default when stdin is a TTY. Piped input automatically uses plain text mode:

# TUI mode (default for interactive use)
clawzero chat

# Plain text mode (piped input)
echo "hello" | clawzero

Disabling the TUI

Use --no-tui to fall back to plain text mode:

clawzero --no-tui chat
