 - **Base URL** — The URL of your Ollama server. Defaults to `http://host.docker.internal:11434`, which reaches a locally running Ollama instance from inside the container. For a remote server, use its IP or hostname (e.g., `http://192.168.1.100:11434`).

+- **Model ID** — **Required.** The model to use (e.g., `qwen3.5:27b`). The model must be pulled in Ollama before use — run `ollama pull <model>` or use it via Ollama cloud so it is available when the container starts.

+### Copying and Pasting
+
+Use **Ctrl+Shift+C** (or **Cmd+C** on macOS) to copy selected text from the terminal, and **Ctrl+Shift+V** (or **Cmd+V** on macOS) to paste. This follows standard terminal emulator conventions since Ctrl+C is reserved for sending SIGINT.
+
 ### Clipboard Support (OSC 52)
 
 Programs inside the container can copy text to your host clipboard. When a container program uses `xclip`, `xsel`, or `pbcopy`, the text is transparently forwarded to your host clipboard via OSC 52 escape sequences. No additional configuration is required — this works out of the box.
