`!` shell commands block on Claude's response before accepting the next `!` command

Description
Running a shell command via the ! prefix feeds the command's output back into the conversation as a turn, and Claude processes/responds to it before the next input is accepted. If I run !pwd and then immediately try !ls, the second command queues until Claude finishes responding to the first.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run !pwd
2. Immediately run !ls before Claude's response to the first command finishes
3. The second command is queued rather than executed immediately

Expected behavior
Quick, independent shell commands run via ! shouldn't have to wait on Claude's analysis of the previous one — at minimum, an option to run ! commands without triggering a full response turn.

Workaround
Chaining commands in one ! call (e.g. !pwd && ls) avoids the queuing since it's a single turn. Though this does not work if I require seeing the output of pwd before running ls
