What feature would you like to see?

When using Plan Mode, I often encounter situations where I need to choose from a set of options (in the cases I’ve seen so far, I can select up to three options. I’d like to request an "Other" option to be added.

Reason

Sometimes the existing options don’t match my intended case well, so I have to pick a similar option and add extra clarification.

Proposal

I think adding an "Other" option (allowing custom input) during selection would help improve this.
If possible, it may also be worth introducing a multi-select mechanism.

I presume you're trying out the recently-added experimental /plan slash command.

The latest version (0.93) introduces a "None of the above" option, like in this screen shot. By pressing tab, you can type in a different choice.

Is that what you had in mind?

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, that's what I wanted. I checked and my CodeX version is 0.92. I will upgrade and try again.

Also, I would like to ask if multi-select is in the support plan?

I don't think we've received any other requests for multi-select. It's something we could consider in the future if there's sufficient interest. It does complicate the UX somewhat, so it would need to be pretty compelling to overcome that downside.
