claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Shift+Tab mode cycle should skip unavailable modes [1 comments, 2 participants]

On the Max plan, auto mode is not available, but Shift+Tab still cycles to it, showing the error: Even when auto mode is unavailable, it appears in the cycle and shows an error message.

TL;DR

Filter permission modes based on the user's plan before cycling through them with Shift+Tab.

Guidance

• Identify the available permission modes for each plan and store this information in a data structure that can be easily accessed when a user presses Shift+Tab.
• When Shift+Tab is pressed, check the user's current plan and only cycle through the modes that are available for that plan.
• Consider adding a check to ensure that the current mode is valid for the user's plan before attempting to cycle to the next mode.
• Review the current implementation of the Shift+Tab functionality to determine why it is not currently filtering out unavailable modes.

Example

const availableModes = {
  'Max plan': ['default', 'plan'],
  // Add other plans and their available modes here
};

// When Shift+Tab is pressed
const currentUserPlan = 'Max plan';
const currentMode = 'default';
const nextMode = availableModes[currentUserPlan].find(mode => mode !== currentMode);
if (nextMode) {
  // Cycle to the next available mode
} else {
  // Cycle back to the first available mode
}

Notes

This solution assumes that the available permission modes for each plan are well-defined and can be easily accessed. If this information is not readily available, additional work may be required to determine the available modes for each plan.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by filtering the available permission modes based on the user's plan, as this will provide a better user experience and is a more straightforward solution than attempting to modify the underlying functionality of the Shift+Tab shortcut.
