5Watch the assistant stream its response and do any tool call.
Optionally you can start a markdown preview side by side to get live markdown preview of the chat which is more user friendly.

Click on the live status bar "Chat.md streaming" icon in the bottom or run "chat.md: Cancel streaming" command to interrupt
You can also use the same shortcut "Opt+Cmd+'" to cancel streaming as for creating a new chat.
You can run command "Refresh MCP Tools" to reload all mcp servers. Then run "MCP Diagnostics" to see available mcp servers.
