[UX] Can't switch model without clearing typed input — need keybinding or inline shortcut
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Jun 1, 2026 by taroooth Closed Jul 4, 2026
Problem Statement
When a message is already typed and ready to send, switching models requires:
- Clearing the entire input
- Typing
/modeland selecting a model - Retyping or pasting the original message back
Expected Behavior
Be able to switch models without losing the current input — e.g.:
- A keyboard shortcut to open the model picker while keeping the input intact
- An inline model selector in the input bar (like
/modelbut without clearing) - A flag on message send (e.g.
/send --model sonnet)
Actual Behavior
/model is a standalone slash command that replaces the entire input.
