Feature request: fixed numbers for permission prompts (0=No, 1=Yes, 2=Yes-all)

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 17, 2026 by aananthcn Closed Apr 20, 2026

Summary

The permission prompt numbers are not consistent — the position/number for Yes/No/Yes-to-all varies by context, which makes it hard to build muscle memory.

Suggestion

Use fixed, always-consistent numbers:

  • 0 — No
  • 1 — Yes
  • 2 — Yes to all future edits/reads

Why this helps

With fixed numbers, users can respond without reading the prompt each time. The current variable layout forces users to slow down and re-read the options on every prompt, which interrupts flow.

An alternative (or complement) would be single-key shortcuts: n, y, a.
