Require Double Escape to Stop a Running Turn in the IDE Extension #20216

@rafaself

Description

@rafaself

What variant of Codex are you using?

IDE Extension

What feature would you like to see?

Codex could require the Esc key to be pressed twice before stopping a running turn in the IDE extension.

This would help prevent users from accidentally interrupting an active task when pressing Esc unintentionally.

Additional information

When the user presses Esc while a turn is running, the extension should not stop the turn immediately. Instead, it should show a small warning above the composer, such as:

Press Esc again to stop the running turn.

Only the second Esc press should stop the thread.

Suggestions:

  • If there are queued prompts, keep them until user explicitly send them or return the previous turn.
