Descripción
### Feature summary
Show a visible choice between steering the current work and queueing the next message.
### What problem are you trying to solve?
When I wanted to send another message while Copilot was working, I could not tell whether it would change the current task or wait until it finished. I ended up not sending it because I did not want to disturb the work in progress.
I only later learned that Enter steers and Ctrl+Enter queues. Queueing already exists, but this choice is difficult to discover unless you already know the shortcut.
### Proposed solution
While Copilot is working, show both actions in the Send button or its dropdown:
- Steer current work
- Add to queue
The existing shortcuts can remain as they are.
VS Code already exposes the same choices while a request is running:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/chat/chat-overview#_send-messages-while-a-request-is-running
### Workflow impact
I could capture next steps immediately without accidentally redirecting the current task or having to remember to return later.
### Installation context
GitHub Copilot app 1.0.23 on Windows x64, OS build 26200.8655, in the /chat view.
### Additional context
Related: #27 introduced queueing, #275 explains the current shortcut, and #1757 shows that queueing can still be difficult to discover.
This request is specifically about making the existing choice visible before sending.
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Empieza inspeccionando la vista /chat y el comportamiento existente de la cola; después, compara la interacción solicitada con la referencia de VS Code enlazada. Se considera terminado cuando “Steer current work” y “Add to queue” están visibles mientras Copilot está trabajando, y los atajos de teclado existentes siguen funcionando.
