What probably matters to youSection of the release
Unclear Whether sendQueuedNow is bound to a specific key or keyboard shortcut is not stated.
What
Two new key chords, ctrl+x ctrl+s and ctrl+enter, are added to the chat keymap, both mapped to a new "send now" action alongside the existing enter and ctrl+x-enter bindings.
This action immediately sends whatever input is currently queued, interrupting the streaming response if Claude is still replying to a previous message.
A new sendQueuedNow method implements this, distinct from the existing submitEmpty action, and triggers the telemetry event input_send_now_key.
Why
This gives a quick way to force a queued message through right away instead of waiting for the current response to finish.
