Esc, Esc — rewind the conversation
Pressing Esc twice opens a jump-back menu, letting you return to an earlier point in the conversation and continue differently from there.
Sometimes the problem isn't the current turn — it's a decision three messages ago that's now leading somewhere unproductive. Tapping Esc twice brings up a list of earlier points in the conversation you can jump back to, effectively rewinding.
Everything after the point you jump back to is discarded from the active conversation, and you continue from there with a different instruction. It's a cleaner alternative to trying to explain a correction on top of an increasingly tangled thread.
Worth knowing this exists before reaching for /clear out of frustration — often the fix is rewinding a few steps, not starting over completely.
