GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.110 Release Notes

2026-11-12

Experimental: answer git, ssh, and sudo password prompts from agent commands in a masked dialog (enable with /experimental on)
Avoid unnecessary error popups during Microsoft Entra sign-in when an organization account is available
Screen readers identify the current session and announce when sessions need attention or are idle in the Sessions list
/usage model rows wrap at the terminal width instead of breaking at 100 columns
The / command picker no longer lists, preselects or runs a skill for a word that the skill's description hides inside a terminal escape sequence; only words the description shows match
Preserve keys typed just as the Ctrl+X shortcut window closes
Keep session rows and the selection cursor visible in the Sessions tab in narrow or short terminals
Preserve existing MCP configuration when /mcp add or /mcp edit encounters an invalid configuration file, and show a save error
Hide empty Thought rows when reasoning contains only invisible characters
Label partial responses and reasoning from interrupted or failed attempts as incomplete while preserving their text
Starting copilot from a directory that has since been deleted now says the directory no longer exists and how to recover, instead of crashing with a Node stack trace, and -C <directory> now works from there.
The workflow run tool no longer tells the model that a user reviews every run's limits when all tool permissions are pre-approved.
/compact respects the session AI credit limit, preventing additional charges once the limit is reached
Vim normal mode keeps j/k at line ends after $ or End and preserves the cursor column when using Up/Down across shorter lines
Plugin listings show enabled local marketplace plugins with missing directories as enabled but not loaded, with an explanation
/init suppress immediately hides the Getting started /init tip and keeps it hidden when returning to the folder.
Copying wrapped prompt text preserves typed line breaks without adding newlines at visual wraps
/worktree HEAD and /move HEAD create a worktree using the normalized branch name "head" instead of failing.
/session prune and its dry run skip sessions open in other processes and report how many were skipped
The /statusline preview keeps footer segments readable on narrow terminals
Ctrl+S in the /mcp add and edit forms saves once, with a single success message and server reload.
Ctrl+Y and /share research show their usual no-report messages instead of raw filesystem errors when the research folder cannot be read.
/lsp list and /lsp reload report syntax errors in your LSP configuration instead of a misleading missing-key error.
Unnamed sessions show their short ID in the Sessions tab and /resume list, keeping the same label after resuming
Assistant replies no longer indent or wrap the row after an inline code span that ends exactly at the right edge
With the Sessions sidebar docked, /lsp logs, the /every schedule manager, /workflows and the /mcp add form fit the pane beside it instead of being cut off at its edge
Mouse selections in scrolled-up conversations copy only highlighted text when released over the prompt or status line
Searches in /agent and the Sessions tab match visible text rather than hidden escape sequences.
Ctrl+R history search highlights, scrolls to, and places the cursor on matches with decomposed accents.
Installing, uninstalling, enabling or disabling a plugin, or adding or removing a marketplace, no longer erases your other plugin and marketplace settings when settings.json has an invalid value; the command now reports the error and leaves the file unchanged
Slash commands that fail at an idle prompt now show an error with the command name and reason
The slash-command picker underlines matching characters correctly in descriptions containing a capital dotted I.
/cwd, /cd, and /add-dir use the path you type when you press Enter before directory suggestions update
Pressing Enter twice on a permission prompt approves the request without showing a false retry warning
Prompt text wraps without splitting words that fit on a line, wrapping early, or adding stray leading spaces and blank lines
Keep accented and CJK characters intact when typing after keyboard shortcuts or pasting over slow terminal connections
Read JSON-valued settings, such as hook definitions, with copilot config <key> and /settings show <key>.
Ctrl+C stops a ! shell command even when pressed immediately after submitting it
Memory changes in /settings take effect without restarting the CLI
Preserve exact numbers, duplicate keys, and key order when displaying JSON tool results in previews and expanded views
Warn when repository settings override the reasoning effort for new sessions after saving a default with /model --global or /model --repo
/context shows loaded custom instructions as a separate token count instead of including them in System Prompt
Make /restart work when the CLI is launched with an attached directory argument such as -Csub or -C=sub
Show a single status entry when /compact is cancelled or has nothing to compact, without treating nothing to compact as an error
Keep /config and /settings readable beside the docked Sessions sidebar by fitting the layout to the available pane width
Show a warning when --yolo or --allow-all flags are ignored because bypass permissions mode is disabled, including in non-interactive runs
Shell completion works after --effort, --no-remote-export, and bare --sync-session flags; regenerate your completion script to apply
Report missing MCP servers as not found in copilot mcp remove and /mcp delete instead of suggesting a disable command that cannot find them
Show the MCP reload notice only once when /new worktree, /fork worktree, or /resume opens a session in another directory
Correct highlighting and emoji display in directory and agent pickers for names containing a capital dotted I.
/skills reload reports the same skill count as /skills list.
Allow copilot mcp enable for most servers even when mcp-config.json is invalid
Dialogs and tables fit beside the Sessions sidebar without clipped text or columns, and /sandbox fits narrow terminals.
Show custom agents marked user-invocable: false in /subagents so you can configure their models and turn them on or off
Show which plugin rules are off by default in copilot instruction list
Show names and file paths containing Markdown characters exactly as configured in /env
Keep text selections visible without adding color when NO_COLOR is set
Keep attachments and pasted text intact when clicking inside their labels in the prompt and typing
A postToolUse hook that rewrites a shell command's output, for example to redact a secret, again changes what the Shell row and copilot -p print, not only what the model receives
Apply URL rules saved in /settings to the active session without requiring a restart
Keep /model details visible when the Sessions sidebar is docked
Show changed files with non-UTF-8 filenames in /diff, including their patches
Preserve blank lines when copying text from the prompt with the mouse
Mouse scrolling and clicks in /settings and /config work correctly with the Sessions sidebar docked
Keep typed text visible and the cursor aligned after completing folder or agent names containing control characters
Show cancellation only once when interrupting a turn with Esc Esc while a /model switch is queued
Removing a problem in /settings keeps the selection on the first remaining row instead of jumping to an unrelated one
Keep tool results and assistant replies readable and aligned when they contain Unicode line or paragraph separators
Make Enter, Up and Down respond immediately after editing a short /search query, and start new queries at the bottom match
Remote MCP tools load and respond without timing out when server replies contain a truncated emoji
Keep group headings visible when scrolling back to the first item in /settings lists
/ask and /btw wait for sign-in to finish at startup and prompt signed-out users to run /login
Scrolling or clicking the Sessions sidebar leaves Configuration search results unchanged.
