What's Wrong?

In Claude CLI if you are asked for permission to edit a file or something, often times the choices are:

1) Yes
2) Yes and don't ask again for xyz
3) No

But other times in the same operation, it will present:

1) Yes
2) No

What Should Happen?

This is confusing, and makes me spend more time making sure I don't tap the wrong number. I think it would be an improvement to change it to:

1 Yes
2 Yes always
0 No

and

1 Yes
0 No

It doesn't have to be 0 necessarily, I just think whatever the options are, they should stay consistent with their category.

Error Messages/Logs

No errors, just a UI inconsistency that causes extra focus

Steps to Reproduce

  • Do something that requires a lot of thinking and writing a lot of files
  • You'll be presented with a bunch of questions for permission
  • Sometimes they are 1) yes 2) yes always 3) no, and sometimes they are 1) yes and 2) no
