What's Wrong?

The newly added rainbow and input highlighting behavior is cool but the /t/ to toggle is not!

CC and other AI CLIs use /tmp/ extensively for writing files and it is common to need to refer to this folder path. There's no easy way to do it, and it is causing toggling.

There's no clear way to escape the character sequence.

Instead consider enabling Control-t to toggle thinking mode.

What Should Happen?

Do not block simple typing of the vital /tmp/ directory
