Disable letter keys in tool permission asks to prevent conflicts with message enqueue

What variant of Codex are you using?
CLI
What feature would you like to see?
Currently, when Codex asks for permissions to use a tool, and offers the option to always approve, it always presents letters:
- option 1 can be selected with y
- 2 can be selected with p
However, also number presses are enough to trigger the corresponding option. That's why I'd be happy if we could remove the letters again. Problem is, when writing a message to enqueue, you already need to be careful not to contain y or p in them, as it could be that right in this moment a tool use popup is appearing which you might not want to accept right away.
Additional information
I'd be happy to do that myself if I get an invite.
