# From GitHub
In the Inbox and Issues, pick items with `space` (or a range with `v`), then:

| Key |                                                                                           |
|-----|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `s` | Start one session from the picked items: Start work opens with a prompt built from them   |
| `a` | Add them to the current session: typed into its agent (not while it is blocked or asking) |

With nothing picked, the item under the cursor is used. The panel on the right shows the prompt that will be used.
