When you type a new message while Tines 3B is still responding, Tines 3B has to decide what to do with it. It can:
Interrupt and act on it right away
Hold it until the current turn finishes
That decision is controlled by your chat follow-up behavior, which you can set to either steer or queue. This article explains the difference and how to switch between them.
The two behaviors
Queue. Your follow-up messages wait in line and send automatically once the agent finishes what it's doing. Use this when you want to add instructions or a next task without cutting off the current work.
Steer. Your message goes to the agent mid-turn, redirecting it while it's still working. Use this when you want to correct course or add context that should change what Tines 3B is doing right now.
Both are ways of handling the same situation, a message sent during an active response. Queue favors letting the current turn complete, while Steer favors immediate influence.
Which should you use?
A simple way to decide:
Pick queue if you tend to line up the next step while Tines 3B finishes the current one, and you'd rather not interrupt work in progress.
Pick steer if you often want to nudge, correct, or add detail while Tines 3B is mid-task and have it react immediately.
You can always flip your default later, or use ⌘↵ to do the opposite on the fly.
Choosing your default
Follow-up behavior is a preference tied to your account, and the default is Queue. You can change it in two places:
In the composer. Open the composer strip below the chat input and use the follow-up button.
Go to preferences in your settings and find chat follow-up behavior, then pick queue or steer from the dropdown.

Whichever you choose becomes the behavior for a plain send (pressing enter) across your chats.
Switching behavior for a single message
You don't have to change your default every time you want the other behavior. Use ⌘↵ (Command and Return) to send a message with the opposite of your current setting for that one message:
If your default is queue, ⌘↵ steers that message instead.
If your default is steer, ⌘↵ queues that message instead.
This lets you keep a comfortable default and reach for the other behavior only when a particular message calls for it.
