Bug Description
Title: Tab key not working to toggle thinking mode, always enabled on startup (v2.0.67)
Description:
- Version: 2.0.67
- OS: Windows
- Model: Sonnet 4.5 (Default)
Bug:
- Tab key no longer toggles extended thinking mode on/off
- After startup, extended thinking is always enabled regardless of the setting in settings.json
- Even when ~/.claude/settings.json contains "alwaysThinkingEnabled": false, thinking mode is always on
- This causes unexpectedly high token consumption
Expected behavior:
- Tab key should toggle thinking mode on/off
- settings.json configuration should be respected on startup
Additional info:
- /config shows "Thinking mode: true" after every restart
- Input bar color indicates thinking is always enabled (purple instead of gray)
Environment Info
- Platform: win32
- Terminal: null
- Version: 2.0.67
- Feedback ID: 9b9cb90c-1d25-4bd2-a41b-01d89d25da9e
