Userstory: I am typing a long prompt, and realise midway that I need the extra intelligence of Opus, unfortunately I currently have sonnet selected. This is annoying to deal with and would be a huge UX improvement to let me change between the model(modes) via a hotkey or similar

I experience the same issue.

Yes! That would be so incredibly helpful.

I came here because of this problem too. It's essential to be able to change models in the middle of writing prompts.

Any workaround for a keyboard shortcut to change the model? The ability to change the model from a hook could also work (e.g. add -s or -o to the end of the prompt, the hook could detect it and change the model for that message for you).

I am also interested in this feature.

@ghodss that's an interesting idea, did you get it to work?
