Autopilot mode interrupts workflow, takes over shift+tab behaviour #1536

Describe the bug

The new autopilot mode prompt is interfering with the shift+tab behaviour for switching modes. When exiting plan mode, it prevents me from shift+tabbing past it until I answer a question about enabling support. If I press cancel, I can continue, but will be interrupted again the next time I tab through.

If I enable the feature, it stops bothering me, but only for that session. Exiting copilot and starting again results in the prompt returning.

Ideally it would let you continue tabbing past this prompt, or only prompts you on first use in autopilot mode. Would also be nice if it remembered your choice across sessions.

This is the prompt that starts with:

Autopilot mode works best with all permissions enabled. Without them, permission requests will be auto-denied and the agent may not complete tasks requiring file edits or shell commands.

Affected version

0.0.411

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. start a new session
  2. enter plan mode, come up with a plan
  3. shift+tab out of plan mode, trying to get back to the default mode
  4. autopilot mode takes over the terminal asking to "Enable autopilot mode", I can't shift+tab past it. I can press escape to cancel, but it asks again the next time I shift+tab through the modes.

Expected behavior

I should be able to shift+tab past the autopilot mode without it interrupting my session asking me to enable it. Or it should remember the choice I made in a previous session, and not keep asking me every new session.

Additional context

On Windows 11, using Windows Terminal, PowerShell.
