Description

### Checks

- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again

### Operating system

MacOS 15.6

### Expected behaviour

After installing Amazon Q for CLI this option is always enabled in JetBrains IDEs:

Like the comment below the option describes, enabling this option has some downsides on very common user flows like ctrl+tab (switching between tabs) no longer working, and more.

It seems there's no way to disable Jetbrains support fully, because after restarting Q the option is re-enabled again. So after every boot of my system, or after every Q update, it's enabled again.

The only way to fully disable is running:
> q integrations uninstall intellij-plugin
but that only works until relaunching Q, like the output of the uninstall command mentions:
> Warning: IntelliJ integrations are automatically reinstalled on launch

The only way to reliably fix this is by uninstall Amazon Q for Command Line.
