What's Wrong?

With version 2.0.65, a new shortcut was introduced that lets us switch models while entering a prompt. On macOS, the shortcut is Option + P. This shortcut doesn’t work. Instead, the Pi symbol is typed in the terminal. I tested this with various terminal apps (standard macOS terminal, Ghostty) and some shells (Bash, Nushell). It also doesn’t work with macOS’s default terminal app and the default bash shell. Since other shortcuts that have existed for longer work without any issues, I assume this is a bug.

What Should Happen?

The shortcut should work and switch the models.

Error Messages/Logs

There are no error messages or logs, we just get a PI symbol instead.

Steps to Reproduce
