What's Wrong?

Pressing the left arrow enters Agent mode, and doing that kills existing workflows.

This is especially bad when viewing a workflow, since you use the left arrow when going through the workflow menus, and hitting it one extra time means you just killed everything.

Please remove Agent mode or remove the left arrow from entering Agent mode.

What Should Happen?

Left arrow shouldn't change into Agent mode.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

Run a workflow. At the prompt, hit left arrow until you enter agent mode. Then select the agent you just left. You will see that the workflow is now dead and it is trying to restart it.
