Transcript

0:00In control mode you don't just watch -- you can drive the remote pane yourself.

0:03Start rysh and double-Escape into rysh mode. First we subscribe to a share in control mode.

0:27Want to run a rysh command on the source pane? Prefix it with four hashes -- ####pane info runs ##pane info remotely.

0:37If the owner set command_approval, each command waits for their yes before it executes. Safety stays with the pane's owner.

0:42Control mode turns a remote share into true pair programming -- gated by the owner's rules.

Key takeaway
A control-mode subscriber uses ##upstream send <text> for input and ####<command> to run ##<command> on the source pane, all gated by server validation and optional owner approval.
