+- **Model Cycling**: Press `Ctrl+P` to quickly cycle through models. Use `--models` CLI argument to scope to specific models (e.g., `--models claude-sonnet,gpt-4o`). Supports pattern matching and smart version selection (prefers aliases over dated versions).

+**--models <patterns>**
+Comma-separated model patterns for quick cycling with `Ctrl+P`. Patterns match against model IDs and names (case-insensitive). When multiple versions exist, prefers aliases over dated versions (e.g., `claude-sonnet-4-5` over `claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929`). Without this flag, `Ctrl+P` cycles through all available models.
+
+Examples:
+- `--models claude-sonnet,gpt-4o` - Scope to Claude Sonnet and GPT-4o
+- `--models sonnet,haiku` - Match any model containing "sonnet" or "haiku"
+- `--models gemini` - All Gemini models
