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.
