Ask HN: How do I get Fable to acknowledge me?

2•bridgettegraham•21m ago
Im using Fable for a lot of work, and I found it to flatout ignore questions I ask it while it works. Sometimes I can find the answer by turning on the transcript view so I can observe its thinking process, but if I don't do that, it almost never answers. anybody else? it annoys me more than I can express and I don't want to read all its thinking all the time. any advice? (im using the claude-desktop app. man I can't wait to get rid of fable - I hate using it, but its really good :-|

Use the /btw feature. If you talk while it's thinking, it takes what your say as steering, not as the next rung in the conversation. You can also hit escape to make it stop and acknowledge you.
