Subagent "x to kill" keybinding types into prompt instead of killing agent
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened May 8, 2026 by unthingable Closed May 12, 2026
When a subagent is running and selected via arrow-down in the agent list, the UI displays x to kill, but pressing x inserts the character into the input prompt rather than terminating the agent. There is no functional way to kill a subagent from the UI.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start a long-running subagent (e.g. a background agent task)
- Press arrow-down to select it in the agent list
- Press
xas indicated by the UI hint
Expected: The subagent is killed
Actual: x is typed into the input prompt; the agent continues running
