Using the Request Pane

The request pane sits in the center of the TUI. It shows every detail of the selected request — URL, method, headers, params, auth, body, and settings.

When the request pane is focused, arrow keys navigate between sections:

Key Action
/ Move between sections (URL, headers, params, auth, body)
/ Move between items within a section
Return Enter edit mode on the selected field
Space Toggle header/param enabled/disabled

Disabled fields are preserved but not sent with the request.

Press Return on any field to edit. A cursor appears.

Key Action
Return Commit the edit
Escape Cancel, revert field to saved value
Tab Move to next field

Press Ctrl+T in the body section to cycle through types. Each type shows different fields:

urlencoded Form entries (key/value)
multipart Form entries (text or file)

For multipart entries, Ctrl+T toggles between text and file mode.
