Copilot CLI v1.0.33-0: Command Aliases & Rate Limit Warnings
Copilot CLI 1.0.33-0 adds command aliases for faster workflows, earlier rate limit warnings at 50%/95% capacity, and fixes grep timeouts on large repos with content exclusion policies.
TL;DR
- New command aliases (/bug, /continue, /release-notes, /export, /reset, /upgrade) speed up common workflows
- Rate limit warnings now trigger at 50% and 95% capacity instead of silently hitting the wall
- Grep timeout fix for large repos with content exclusion policies enabled
- Vim-style navigation (j/k) and task killing (x) in tasks dialog
New
- Command aliases — /bug, /continue, /release-notes, /export, /reset, and /upgrade now work as shortcuts for their full command names
- Slash command picker improvements — suggests similar commands when you mistype or use an unrecognized slash command
- Vim navigation in tasks dialog — use j/k to move between tasks and x to kill them
Improved
- Rate limit visibility — warnings now appear at 50% and 95% capacity, giving you earlier notice before hitting limits
- Sub-agent model inheritance — sub-agents in auto mode now inherit the session model instead of defaulting separately
- Help overlay — ctrl+t toggle for reasoning display is now documented in /help and ? overlay
Fixed
- Grep timeout on large repos — grep no longer times out when content exclusion policies are enabled
- Non-interactive mode exit — waits for all background agents to finish before exiting cleanly
- Skill picker text handling — correctly truncates CJK/Japanese descriptions and long skill names without wrapping
- Slash command selection — pressing Enter now selects the highlighted command in the picker
