Add Prompt Queue, Plan Mode Toggle

[PedramGlobiance]

Feature Requests

I would like to request two enhancements to GitHub Copilot CLI:

1. Prompt Queue

Add the ability to queue multiple prompts so they can be processed sequentially without waiting for each one to complete before submitting the next. This would improve workflow efficiency when working on tasks that require multiple operations.

2. Plan Mode Toggle

Introduce a plan mode that generates and displays an execution plan before actually making changes. This would allow users to:

• Review the proposed actions before they're executed
• Approve or reject the plan
• Understand the scope of changes before they happen

Similar to terraform plan or other IaC tools, this would provide better control and visibility.

Use Case

These features would significantly improve workflow efficiency and control when working with Copilot CLI on complex tasks that require multiple steps, or careful review

Additional Context

• Prompt queue would reduce idle time between operations
• Plan mode would increase confidence when making changes

Hi @PedramGlobiance and any other followers of this issue. Improvements to image support have landed in CLI 0.0.362.

All of the following now results in an image being attached to your prompt:

• Copy & paste image data
  • On Windows and Linux use alt+v
  • On macOS use ctrl+v
• Drag and drop image file
• Copy & paste (normal keyboard shortcuts) image file (does not currently work with Finder on macOS)
• Copy & paste (normal keyboard shortcuts) path to image file

Please leave a comment here if you have any problems with these features. Thanks!

@PedramGlobiance I'm going to edit your issue to remove the references to image support since we have now shipped those. If you have any other issues regarding image support from this point please open a new issue.

I do need queue and plan mode. I've got this in opencode and claude code and I miss it a lot. 🙏

Hey folks, prompt queuing and steering landed in v0.0.381. I will leave this open for the plan mode which 🤞 will be coming soon.
