Neural HUD, Settings & Keybinds

What The Neural HUD Is

The Neural HUD is YeePilot's full-screen control surface for the things users need during a real session:

• session switching
• vault state
• local audit activity
• plan and usage visibility
• settings
• global hotkey customization

It is designed for end users, not just developers.

How To Open It

The most useful entry points are:

• press Esc when the prompt is empty
• press F2 to open the Settings tab directly
• press F3 to open the Keybinds tab directly
• run /settings
• run /keybinds

The Main Tabs

Sessions

Use this tab to:

• search saved sessions
• switch sessions
• create a new session quickly
• review compact session metrics

Vault

Use this tab to:

• see whether the client and vault are locked
• open the lock screen
• inspect available vault entries
• jump into vault-related actions

Audit

Use this tab to:

• watch local security and audit activity
• review event details
• confirm integrity status at a glance

Usage

Use this tab to:

• see account and plan status
• view session-start usage
• inspect registered-device usage
• review recent local access activity
• see feature keys and additional limits when provided by the server

Settings

Use this tab to:

• search settings globally
• browse by category
• edit normal values directly
• launch common actions without memorizing every slash command

Keybinds

Use this tab to:

• review current global hotkeys
• record a custom trigger
• reset an action to its default
• remove a custom override

Settings Categories

The HUD groups settings into practical categories:

• AI
• Server
• UI
• Security
• System
• Actions

Most end users will spend their time in:

• AI for model, thinking, token mode, and local coding-agent access
• UI for theme, live stream, and sidecar preferences
• Security for vault, sandbox, and safety-sensitive behavior

Keybind Management

The Keybinds tab is the recommended way to manage global hotkeys.

Default examples include:

• F1 Help
• F2 Settings
• F3 Keybinds
• F4 Thinking selector
• F5 Sandbox selector
• F6 Security selector
• F7 Plan selector
• F8 Live Stream selector
• Ctrl+F Search chat
• Ctrl+H Tool history
• Ctrl+L Clear screen
• Ctrl+E Shell toggle
• Ctrl+S Sidecar toggle
• Ctrl+P Sidecar picker
• Ctrl+T Token mode toggle

How recording works

In the Keybinds tab:

• press Enter on an action to start recording
• press the new key or supported mouse button
• press R to restore the default
• press D to remove the custom override

If you want to record mouse triggers, enable mouse capture first with:

/mouse on

Sidecar And HUD Are Related, But Different

The HUD is the full-screen control surface.

The sidecar is the optional right-hand panel in the normal chat layout. You can manage it with:

/sidecar
/sidecar sysmon
/sidecar vault

or:

• Ctrl+S to show or hide it
• Ctrl+P to open the picker
• Tab / Shift+Tab to cycle modules when visible

Live Stream Controls

The HUD is also the easiest place to discover or confirm live-stream behavior, but you can switch it directly from the session too:

/livestream
/livestream status
/livestream scope all
/livestream scope files
/livestream off

Best End-User Routine

Most users settle into this pattern:

1. work in normal chat
2. open the HUD when they need sessions, usage, settings, or audit detail
3. customize hotkeys once in the Keybinds tab
4. manage the sidecar and live stream as task-specific tools

That keeps the main chat clean while still giving you fast access to everything important.
