Alt-screen mode enabled by default, LSP timeouts fixed, and remote plugin sources now supported in Copilot CLI v0.0.413.
TL;DR

--experimentalflag - LSP timeout bumped from 30s to 90s to kill timeout failures
- Fixed API URL handling, icon rendering, and keyboard navigation quirks
- Remote plugin sources and YAML skill files now work correctly
New
- Alt-screen mode default — Enabled by default when running with
--experimentalflag for better terminal UI experience - Ctrl+Insert copy shortcut — Copy selected text directly in alt-screen view without reaching for the mouse
- Remote plugin sources — Load plugins from GitHub repos and git URLs in marketplace.json entries
- Configurable status line — Display dynamic session info via custom shell scripts in the status line
- Logical line navigation — Ctrl+A, Ctrl+E, and Ctrl+U now jump to newlines instead of visual wrap boundaries
Fixed
- Copilot API URL not respected — Custom API endpoints now work as configured
- LSP request timeout — Increased from 30s to 90s to reduce spurious timeout failures
- Alt-screen timeline updates — Tool calls and sub-agent calls now properly update timeline entries
- Icon rendering — read_bash, write_bash, and stop_bash in-progress icons now show empty circle instead of filled dot
- Code search performance — Faster search in large repositories
- YAML skill files — Array syntax for allowed-tools now loads correctly
- Heading content from reasoning — GPT models now display heading content from reasoning output
- Model auto-migration — Users on claude-sonnet-4.5 automatically migrate to current default model on startup
