The permission requests get interrupted when you are typing messages in CLI

What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI

What feature would you like to see?

When I'm typing a message in CLI, and it requests authority, since it's hotkey-based, I will often auto-reject it, by pressing n for example.

It means it's risky to type messages while it's working.

I find it fascinating that these features are not ironed out after having been available for such a long time. I don't mean to be rude, but I feel the need to ask if anyone in the codex team is actually using it to code? It keeps happening if you are typing messages, considering how the program is so handicapped and is asking for permission for every single file read or write.

I haven't used it for a long time, but I've used GEMINI-CLI for months, and Claude for a bit as well, and neither of them is so frustrating and the permission requesting, and how it impacts the rest of the experience.

I'm asking this with pure intentions:
Do you need help or feedback on your UI/UX with this tool? I would happily hop onto a call or give some feedback in a document. I guess that you guys will probably prefer separate topics on Github.

Thanks for considering
