How much does RightNow AI cost?

RightNow AI is free to use with unlimited profiling and benchmarking. RightNow Pro costs $20 per month and adds GPU emulator access (50+ GPUs), multi-GPU comparison, and 1,000 AI credits per month.

What CUDA development workflow does the RightNow editor support?

The RightNow editor supports CUDA development workflows that combine editing, profiling, emulation, remote GPU execution, and benchmarked performance analysis.

Can I use the RightNow editor on macOS?

Yes, the RightNow editor is available on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). Mac users can use remote GPUs for free or our built-in GPU emulator for CUDA profiling.

Keyboard Shortcuts

RightNow Agent uses contextual keyboard bindings. The shortcuts bar at the bottom of the TUI changes with the focused pane, current turn state, and selected card or scrollback entry.

Simple and vim navigation

Action	Simple mode	Vim mode
Previous / next entry	Up / Down	k / j
Previous / next user turn	Shift+Left / Shift+Right	H / L
Previous / next assistant response	No single-key binding	K / J
Collapse / expand	Left / Right	h / l
Top / bottom	Use page scrolling	g / G
Focus composer	Space or type a letter	i, Tab, or Space

Simple mode is the default. Toggle vim navigation with /vim-mode or set vim_mode = true under [ui] in ~/.rightnow/config.toml.

Composer

Key	Action
Enter	Send while idle. During a turn, queue the draft; on an empty composer, send the first queued item now.
Ctrl+Enter / Ctrl+I	Outside VS Code-family terminals, cancel the foreground turn and send the current or first queued message next. VS Code-family terminals use Ctrl+L.
Ctrl+M	Toggle multiline mode. In that mode, Shift+Enter or Alt+Enter sends.
Tab	Move focus to scrollback.
Up	On an empty normal composer, open prompt history with the newest item loaded.
!	On an empty composer, enter shell mode.
Ctrl+C	Clear a non-empty draft first; with an empty composer, cancel the running turn.
Esc Esc	While idle, clear a non-empty prompt or open rewind when the prompt is empty and the session has messages.

Scrollback

Key	Action
PageUp / PageDown	Scroll one page. These also work from an ordinary focused composer.
Ctrl+K / Ctrl+J	Scroll one line without changing the selected entry.
Ctrl+U / Ctrl+D	Scroll half a page. VS Code-family terminals use Shift+D for half-page down.
Enter / Ctrl+F	Open the selected block in the fullscreen viewer.
Ctrl+E	Expand or collapse all thinking blocks.
Tab	Return focus to the composer.

Blocking cards

Context	Keys	Action
All cards	Tab / Shift+Tab	Cycle the current card's rows without moving to another pane.
Question	Arrows, 1-9, a-f, Enter	Move through questions, choose an answer, or submit free text.
Permission	Arrows, 1-9, Enter	Select a permission response. Ctrl+O enables always-approve; Ctrl+C cancels the request.
Cancel turn	Arrows, 1-4, Enter	Choose what to cancel. Esc keeps everything running.
Question or permission	Esc	Clear the current selection first, then park focus in scrollback. Tab returns to the card.

Panes and global actions

Key	Action
Ctrl+P / ?	Open the command palette.
Ctrl+S	Open the session picker.
Ctrl+; / Ctrl+'	Toggle the prompt queue when it is non-empty.
Ctrl+T	Toggle the todos pane.
Ctrl+G	Toggle the tasks pane in the full TUI.
Ctrl+B	Send the running foreground command to the background.
Ctrl+\	Open or close the Agent Dashboard.
Ctrl+N	Arm new-session creation; press again within 1 second to confirm.
Ctrl+Q	Arm quit; press again within 1 second. VS Code-family terminals use Ctrl+D.

Escape depends on state

During a running turn, Esc cancels immediately in minimal mode and in the default simple scrollback mode while preserving the draft. In fullscreen vim scrollback mode it does not cancel; use Ctrl+C. Open menus, searches, selections, and cards consume Escape before turn cancellation.
