Problem
Currently, switching permission modes (yolo / auto / manual) in the TUI requires typing slash commands like /yolo or /perm yolo. There is no keyboard shortcut for this, and the TUI does not support user-customizable keybindings.
Only a few shortcuts are hardcoded:
Shift+Tab — toggle Plan modeCtrl+G — external editorCtrl+S — inject input during streamingCtrl+O — collapse/expand tool output
Feature Request
Add a [keybindings] section to tui.toml (or a similar config mechanism) that allows users to define custom keyboard shortcuts for built-in actions, at minimum:
- "switch-permission" — cycle through yolo / auto / manual
- "toggle-yolo" — jump directly to yolo mode
- "toggle-auto" — jump directly to auto mode
- "toggle-plan" — toggle plan mode (currently Shift+Tab is hardcoded; should be overridable)
Example config:
[keybindings]
switch_permission = "ctrl+shift+y"
toggle_plan = "ctrl+shift+p"
Use Case
Power users frequently switch between permission modes during a session (e.g. yolo for known-safe batch tasks, manual for risky operations). A single keystroke is significantly faster than typing /yolo every time, especially in fast-paced workflows.
Additional Context
This is a quality-of-life improvement. The TUI already supports a few hardcoded shortcuts, so the infrastructure for keybinding dispatch exists — this request is about making it extensible and user-configurable.
