The Message Queue — Talking While Pi Thinks
Pi doesn't make you wait for the agent to finish before sending more instructions. You can queue messages while the agent is streaming:
| Key | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Enter | Queue a steering message — delivered after current tool, interrupts remaining tools |
| Alt+Enter | Queue a follow-up message — delivered after agent finishes all work |
| Escape | Abort the agent and restore queued messages to editor |
| Alt+Up | Retrieve queued messages back to editor |
Steering is for course-correction: "Stop, do this instead." The message is delivered after the current tool finishes, but remaining tool calls in the LLM's response are skipped.
Follow-up is for chaining: "After you're done with that, also do this." The message waits until the agent has no more tool calls to make.
Settings:
steeringMode:"one-at-a-time"(default) or"all"(deliver all queued at once)followUpMode: same options
