Research direction

Reproduce the issue in GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.25 on Windows PowerShell with a French AZERTY keyboard by entering `ls` and pressing Ctrl+S. Start by tracing the CLI's Ctrl+S handling and slash-command autocomplete behavior; done means the command remains intact and runs, with the slash-command behavior unchanged for its intended shortcut.
