Describe the bug

Context:
https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/cli-command-reference

There are a couple of Ctrl-[key] shortcuts that expands timeline/reasoning. On a long running session if you accidentally hit Ctrl-E în another terminal window, it became a nightmare in copilot cli. And you cannot stop it until agents finished their work (or you forcibly kill the process that's also a painful).

Here is a short video:

Affected version

1.0.3

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Have a long running session with copilot cli.
  2. Ask agent to do something
  3. Hit Ctrl-O or Ctrl-E (could be also before starting the agent or when agent asks to provide the answer for a question)
  4. Observe infinite expanding of reasoning/output progress.

Expected behavior

I would like to have an option to either completely disable such combinations or remap then to have extra char combination like in tmux, picocom.

Additional context

Run standalone copilot cli on MacOS
