3333 If you haven't yet accepted the [workspace trust dialog](/docs/en/permissions#project-allow-rules-and-workspace-trust) for the directory, Claude Code shows it before agent view opens, the same dialog `claude` shows. Accept to save trust for the workspace and continue. If you decline, Claude Code exits without opening agent view.

35 Agent view opens with an input at the bottom and a table that fills in as sessions start. Press `Esc` at any time to return to your shell; if you opened agent view by backgrounding a session with `←`, `Esc` returns to that conversation instead. Your sessions keep running while you're away and reappear the next time you open agent view.

288| `Space` | Open or close the peek panel for the selected session |
289| `Shift+Enter` | Dispatch and attach immediately |
290| `→` | Attach to the selected session |
291| `Alt+1`..`Alt+9` | Attach to session 1–9 in the focused session's directory |
292| `Tab` | On an empty input, browse all subagents. Otherwise apply the highlighted suggestion |
293| `Ctrl+S` | Switch grouping between state and directory |
294| `Ctrl+T` | Pin or unpin the selected session |
295| `Ctrl+R` | Rename the selected session |

853| v2.1.239 | With [vim editor mode](/docs/en/interactive-mode#vim-editor-mode) on, pressing `Esc` in agent view's input switches from INSERT to NORMAL mode and keeps your text, matching the main prompt; in NORMAL mode with text still in the input, pressing `Esc` clears it, and pressing `Esc` on an empty input exits, as the [`Esc` shortcut](#keyboard-shortcuts) describes. Before this release, `Esc` cleared the input. |
853854| v2.1.233 | For a session linked to a GitLab merge request, Claude Code writes the row's label in GitLab's `!1234` reference syntax. You can also paste the merge request's URL into the [dispatch input](#filter-sessions) to select that session. Before this release, the label rendered as `#1234`, and a pasted merge request URL matched a session only when its first prompt contained the URL. |
854855| v2.1.227 | [Deleting a session](#what-deleting-a-session-removes) keeps the session and its worktree while another live Claude Code session is running inside that worktree directory. Agent view shows `not deleted` on the row and the reason in the footer, and `claude rm` prints `kept <id>` with the reason, which names the other session's process ID. Before this release, deleting the session removed the worktree while the other session was still working in it. |
855856| v2.1.225 | `claude agents` in a directory you haven't trusted shows the same [workspace trust dialog](/docs/en/permissions#project-allow-rules-and-workspace-trust) that `claude` shows on startup, before agent view opens. Accepting saves trust for that workspace; declining exits without opening agent view. Before this release, `claude agents` opened without asking, so sessions you dispatched from it ran in a directory you'd never been asked to trust.<br /><br />With the list grouped by directory, hovering the mouse over a row highlights it without changing the [dispatch target](#dispatch-to-a-specific-directory); selecting a row with the arrow keys or a click still changes the target. Before this release, moving the mouse over a session in another project silently changed the directory the next dispatched session started in. |
