the permission-mode banner shown below the input box (e.g. "⏵⏵ accept edits on (shift+tab to cycle)") is helpful at first but gets noisy once you know the keybind.

would be nice to have a setting that either:

  1. hides the banner entirely (e.g. "hidePermissionModeHint": true)
  2. or shows a compact form — just the icon + mode name, no parenthetical hint and no "on" suffix (e.g. ⏵⏵ accept edits or just ⏵⏵)

context: it shows on every screen, takes up a row, and the (shift+tab to cycle) hint in particular feels like onboarding text that could fade after first use.

happy to PR if a maintainer can point me at the rendering call site.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Add a setting to hide or compact the permission-mode banner to reduce noise for experienced users.

Guidance

  • Investigate adding a "hidePermissionModeHint" setting to toggle the banner's visibility.
  • Consider implementing a compact mode that displays only the icon and mode name, without the parenthetical hint and "on" suffix.
  • Review the rendering call site to determine the best approach for implementing this feature.
  • Discuss with maintainers to determine the desired behavior and implementation details before creating a PR.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue lacks specific implementation details.

Notes

The solution may require changes to the UI rendering code and potentially the settings storage and retrieval mechanisms.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adding a setting to hide or compact the permission-mode banner, as this will allow for a more tailored user experience.
