General

Composer behavior, keeping the computer awake while agents run, the worktree branch prefix, experimental features, and resetting this device’s app state.

General holds app behavior that doesn’t belong to a provider, a host, or one part of the app. It sits in the Application group of Settings, so its settings apply to the app on this device, whichever host you are looking at.

Chat & Composer

Setting	Default	What it does
Voice input	On	Dictate prompts with the composer’s mic button or Ctrl + Shift + M (the same keys on macOS). The microphone opens only while you are dictating, and turning this off closes it. Speech is transcribed on your device; audio never leaves your machine.
Quote reply on text selection	On	Selecting text in an agent’s reply shows a quote button that inserts the selection into the composer.
Steer with ⌘+Enter (Steer with Ctrl+Enter on Windows and Linux)	On	While a turn is running, Cmd + Enter / Ctrl + Enter sends the composer text into that turn as a steering message, ahead of the queue. Plain Enter still queues. Works with agents that support steering; see Message queue.

To hide the mic button but keep the dictation shortcut, set Microphone to Hidden in Layout instead of turning voice input off.

Running Agents

Prevent sleep while running keeps the computer awake while an agent is running, so work continues when you step away. It is off by default.

Worktrees

Default branch prefix is the start of every branch name Traycer creates for a new worktree. The default is traycer/.

• The row previews an example branch name, such as “New branches start like traycer/<name>”, and updates as you type.
• Changes save automatically. The reset button next to the field restores traycer/.
• Leave the field empty to create branches with no prefix.
• A prefix can be up to 40 characters. It can’t contain spaces, ~ ^ : ? * [ \, .. or @{, can’t start with - or /, and can’t contain //. No part between slashes can start with . or end with .lock.

A repository can set its own prefix in <repo>/.traycer/environment.json, which takes precedence over this one for that repository. See Setup and teardown scripts.

Experimental

Agent roles lets agents claim durable responsibilities, called roles, and coordinate through role-aware tools and prompts. It is off by default. Agents claim, list, and release roles with traycer agent role claim, traycer agent role list, and traycer agent role relinquish; see CLI commands.

Danger Zone

Clear local app state resets this device’s app state, then reloads the app:

• open tabs and layout
• drafts
• settings and view preferences

You stay signed in, and nothing on your hosts or in your Tasks is deleted. Traycer asks you to confirm first, and the reset can’t be undone.

File edit snapshots are cleared per host, from Host › Overview › Data; see Overview.

Desktop Only

The mobile app doesn’t show Voice input, Prevent sleep while running, or the Experimental group.
