Avoid interrupting a user actively typing

What variant of Codex are you using?

codex-cli 0.139.0

What feature would you like to see?

If I'm typing while the model is working, sometimes it will ask me a question. When this happens, a lot of what I'm typing gets swallowed, but worse it's really common to type y, p, or n while typing, so it will automatically end up selecting an answer (e.g. "always do this") before even having a chance to see the question.

Some options:

• detect that a user is typing before asking a question - add something like "waiting for user to stop typing before asking a question" to indicate that it's about to interrupt you
• change the shortcuts from letters commonly used while typing to something less likely to be triggered accidentally (e.g. claude uses 1,2,3; could use ctrl- prefix or special chars)
• don't replace the prompt when text is written at all - ask the question above and have a way to select without overwriting the prompt (e.g. ctrl- prefixed options) so you don't have to send the prompt you're working on first
• no-interrupt mode as an option (see #14693)
• have some safeguards where if a user answers quicker than seems reasonable (e.g. within 100ms? 200ms?) then it triggers a terminal bell on each keystroke until you stop typing for long enough, maybe with a visual indicator that says it's not accepting the answer to avoid causing you to accidentally approve or disapprove something
