Problem Statement
When composing a prompt, I sometimes realize mid-typing that the task doesn't need the current model (e.g., Opus) and could be handled by a cheaper/faster model (e.g., Sonnet or Haiku).
However, there's no way to switch models without:
- Canceling or discarding the current prompt
- Running /model to switch
- Re-typing or pasting the prompt
This creates friction, especially for longer prompts, and discourages cost-efficient model usage.
Proposed Solution
Keybinding while composing (e.g., Ctrl+M or Cmd+Shift+M) that cycles through available models or opens a model picker
