**Inline image rendering** (v1.0.64+): The CLI can display images inline in the terminal when your terminal supports it. If an MCP tool, agent, or attachment returns an image, it is rendered directly in the conversation timeline rather than shown as a file path or URL. This works in terminals with image protocol support (such as iTerm2, Kitty, Wezterm, and tmux with appropriate configuration).

**Voice dictation** *(v1.0.81+)*: Press **Ctrl+Space** to toggle voice dictation on or off, letting you speak a prompt instead of typing it.

**Worktree switch reliability (v1.0.82+)**: If you start typing a new message while `/worktree` or `/move` is preparing a worktree switch, that message is no longer dropped when the switch completes.

The `/ask` command lets you ask a quick question without affecting your conversation history. The current session context is preserved, so you can use it for one-off lookups without derailing an ongoing task. Responses are rendered as full markdown, including tables and formatted links:

> **Note**: Enabling and disabling hooks and LSP servers individually is temporarily unavailable following the `/plugins` removal — those toggles previously lived only in the retired dashboard.

> **Dashboard available to everyone (v1.0.81+)**: The plugins dashboard (`/plugin`, `/mcp`, and `/skills`) is now on for all users by default. If you need to opt out, set `PLUGINS_DASHBOARD=false`, which also restores the legacy `copilot plugins` command. This opt-out was later removed in the same release, along with the legacy skills picker it kept alive — `/skills`, bare `/mcp`, and `/mcp show` (with no server name) always open the dashboard now, and `/mcp config` opens the dedicated MCP wizard.

### Loading Plugins from a Local Directory

You can load plugins directly from a local directory without installing them from a marketplace, using the `--plugin-dir` flag when starting Copilot:
