Descrizione
### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
When executing a shell command directly by prefixing it with ! , pressing Tab does not behave like a normal terminal's tab-completion (completing file/directory paths, commands, or flags). Instead, it switches focus/navigation to the Issues view within the CLI. This breaks the expected muscle-memory of a shell prompt and makes it harder to quickly complete paths or commands while working in ! shell mode.
### Proposed solution
When a command is prefixed with ! (direct shell execution), pressing Tab currently gets intercepted by Copilot CLI's own UI (switching focus/view to Issues) instead of being passed through to the underlying shell for standard completion (file paths, commands, flags — like a normal terminal). Since ! is meant to give a raw shell pass-through experience, Tab keystrokes while in that mode should be forwarded to the shell's native completion instead of being captured by the CLI's own keybindings.
### Example prompts or workflows
1. In the Copilot CLI, type !cd ../../projects/my- and press Tab — expected: shell completes the path to the matching directory, same as typing it directly in a terminal.
2. Type !git chec and press Tab — expected: shell completes to git checkout (or cycles matches), not a switch to the Issues panel.
3. Type !ls src/ and press Tab to cycle through files/folders in src/ — expected: standard filename completion, same as bash/zsh/PowerShell.

Direzione di ricerca
Inizia tracciando la gestione di Tab nella modalità shell ! e il keybinding che passa alla vista Issues; l'issue non indica alcun file o test. Verifica il comportamento con i workflow per il percorso indicato, git checkout e il completamento di src/, e considera il lavoro completato quando Tab usa il normale completamento della shell sottostante invece di cambiare le viste della CLI.
