What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

The send-now action (chat:sendNow) delivers a queued message straight away, without waiting for Claude to finish. A queued message is one you typed while Claude was still working. Until now the key only worked from the main view, the one showing the lead agent.

It now also works when you are viewing a named agent. A named agent is another agent working alongside the main one that you can switch your view to. In that view, send-now hands the queued message to that agent.

Why

If you are watching a teammate agent and want your queued message to reach it now, you no longer have to switch back to the main view first.
