Send keys batch¶

Use when you need to send several ordered raw-input operations to one or more panes: TUI keystrokes, partial shell input, or persistent shell interaction that should remain below the command-completion layer.

Avoid when you need to run shell commands and capture results — use run_command for authored commands, or combine send_keys with capture_since when later observation is intentionally separate from input.

Side effects: Sends keystrokes to target panes in order. With on_error="stop" the batch stops at the first failed operation and returns that failure in the result. With on_error="continue" later operations are still attempted.

Example:

{
  "tool": "send_keys_batch",
  "arguments": {
    "operations": [
      {"pane_id": "%2", "keys": "C-c", "enter": false},
      {"pane_id": "%2", "keys": "npm run dev"}
    ],
    "on_error": "stop"
  }
}

Response:

{
  "results": [
    {
      "index": 0,
      "pane_id": "%2",
      "success": true,
      "error": null,
      "elapsed_seconds": 0.01
    },
    {
      "index": 1,
      "pane_id": "%2",
      "success": true,
      "error": null,
      "elapsed_seconds": 0.01
    }
  ],
  "succeeded": 2,
  "failed": 0,
  "stopped_at": null
}
