Helmsted no longer needs to finish before you can change course. Two new controls sit in every session.
Stop
Press stop and Helmsted halts the reply right there. You can edit your message or try again from the same spot.
Steer
Keep typing while Helmsted works and send. Your message joins the session, marked “Will be read after this step.” As soon as Helmsted finishes the step it is on, it reads your message and answers with it in mind, without starting over. You can edit or remove the message until then.
See it in a full working session in At the Helm No. 14.
