Description
Preflight Checklist
- I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
The chat input box's placeholder text is not a static hint — it dynamically shows what looks like a predicted next message from me, based on the conversation so far. This is distracting and stressful during long, iterative sessions.
Request: please add a way to turn off this predictive/suggested-reply placeholder, or make the placeholder always static.
Proposed Solution
Either:
- Add a setting to disable the predictive placeholder text and always show a static placeholder instead, or
- Make the placeholder never change based on conversation content.
Alternative Solutions
No response
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
Feature Category
Interactive mode (TUI)
Use Case Example
Example scenario:
- I'm in a long back-and-forth session (e.g. iterating on small tweaks)
- The input box is empty and I'm about to type my next message
- The placeholder shows a guessed version of what I'm about to say
- This is distracting, so I'd rather see a plain static placeholder

Research direction
The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the interactive-mode TUI chat input and the code that generates its predictive placeholder, then check how settings are defined and tested. Done means users can disable the prediction or consistently receive a static placeholder.
