The task list has a matching action that sends a task off and opens it.\n\nWhether these are offered used to depend on a fixed list of terminal names. It now depends on whether your terminal is detected as able to send extended key combinations:\n\n- under tmux or screen, they are not offered\n\n- in Windows Terminal, they need the kitty keyboard protocol, a way for terminals to report more key combinations, to be confirmed\n\n**Why**\n\nThe shortcut and its hint stop appearing in terminals that cannot actually send the modified key press, where pressing it would not work.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Names: `chat:sendNow`\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
