Copilot CLI v1.0.36-1: Changes Statusline & Double-Esc Cancel
Copilot CLI 1.0.36-1 adds a changes statusline toggle, requires double Esc to cancel work, and fixes custom instruction loading in .gitignored directories.
TL;DR
- New 'changes' statusline toggle shows added/removed line counts per session
- Double Esc now required to cancel in-flight work (prevents fat-finger cancels)
- Custom instruction files in .gitignored directories (.github/instructions/) now load correctly
New
- Changes statusline toggle — Display added/removed line counts for your current session at a glance
Improved
- Double Esc to cancel — Require two Escape presses to interrupt in-flight work, eliminating accidental cancellations
Fixed
- Custom instruction files in .gitignored directories (like .github/instructions/) now load and apply correctly
Update via: npm install -g @github/copilot-cli@latest
