When dealing with an agent I’d love to define two different submission semantics.

Specifically allow me to map enter/submit to an agent mode such that:

→ Custom Mode  
 → Agent

So that when Im talking to the agent and I dont want it messing about with my files I can just hit enter like normal but have it run a custom mode without editor access, but when I want it to do a real edit, I can just hit cmd-enter and have it fly away.

Would be oh so much faster/easier than having to use the pulldown menu to switch modes.
