A long chat is easy to lose your place in. This page covers how Oda follows new replies while it works, how to read back through the earlier messages, and how to move between turns with the rail or the keyboard. For how a chat is laid out and how answers are drawn, see The chat transcript; for how a turn folds its work, see Work details and process folding.
While you are at the bottom of a chat, it follows the newest output: Oda's steps and replies stay in view as they arrive.
Back to bottom, the round control above the message box, takes you to the newest message and starts following again in one click.
At the top of a chat, Load earlier brings older messages back in, one page at a time.
While a page loads, the button shows a busy state. If a page cannot load, the chat shows the reason and its code: Failed to load history: {message} ({code}). Select Load earlier to try again.
The rail on the right edge of the chat marks every turn the chat has started, in order.
You scrolled up. The chat stops following while you read and keeps your place. Return to the bottom, or select Back to bottom, and it follows again.
No. Typing in the message box never counts as reading, so the chat keeps following new replies. When you send the message, the chat returns to the bottom anyway.
Sending returns the view to the bottom: your new message takes over from the reading position, so the chat shows your message and follows Oda's reply as it arrives.
No. The older messages are added above what you are reading, and Oda keeps your place, so the part you were on stays where it is.
Each mark is one turn the chat has started, in order. Select a mark to jump to that turn.
The rail appears once the chat has at least two turns, and Oda hides it when the chat area is narrower than 900 pixels. Widen the window to bring it back.
When a jump lands on a message, Oda rings it briefly so you can see where you landed. It goes away on its own.
Use the rail: each mark jumps to one turn, so select the mark for the turn you want. To read back through the chat in pages instead, use Load earlier.
Yes. The arrow keys, Page Up, Page Down, Home, End and Space move through the transcript, and Oda treats them as reading, the same as scrolling.
Yes. The browser's find (Ctrl+F) reaches text inside folded steps and reveals the step that holds the match, so you do not have to open every step first.
