[FEATURE][Accessibility] Allow single-keypress selection in axScreenReader mode (it currently forces Enter to confirm every choice)
Environment
- Claude Code 2.1.196, Windows 10
- Screen reader: NVDA
- Terminal: Windows Terminal
Context
With axScreenReader: true, interactive prompts switch to line-committed input: to answer a numbered selection menu or a y/n permission prompt, you type the choice and then press Enter to commit. In the default TUI renderer, selection is a single keypress — the choice fires immediately without a separate Enter.
Request
In screen-reader mode, either keep single-keypress selection, or add a setting (e.g. an option on axScreenReader, or a separate key) to choose between line-committed and instant selection.
Rationale
For a fluent screen-reader user who already knows the options being offered, requiring Enter on every prompt is pure friction, and it isn't clear the line-committed model is meaningfully more accessible — arguably the opposite for experienced users. The point of screen-reader mode is to reduce friction; this particular change adds it. Letting the user choose would serve both audiences.
