Describe the bug

I updated to v0.2025.06.18.08.11.stable_02, and now, whenever I type @ with no prefix in a repository, I get a file popup to add files to the context. However, I'm not in agent mode.

I use Jujutsu version control, which uses @ to denote the current revision, and thus, I'm typing it a lot. The popup's incredibly annoying, and I couldn't find a setting to turn it off.

Even disabling AI entirely didn't stop it!

The screenshot shows the popup happening. Note that I'm NOT in Agent Mode.

To reproduce

Go into any normal git dir and type @. E.g.:

git clone https://github.com/afnanenayet/diffsitter.git
cd diffsitter/
Type @ with nothing before it

The criteria are:

Be in a directory with a .git/ dir. (git worktrees and non-colocated jj repos don't trigger this.)
Type @ with no alphanumeric chars before it. @, "@, and '@ will trigger it. [A-Za-z0-9]@ do not.

Expected behavior

Since I haven't invoked agent mode, I expect @ to be treated like any other character.

Hello! Just wanted to inform you this is currently working as intended -- it's a new ergonomic feature to allow you do something like

cat @settings.rs| and pick from a list of files. Right now, there's no way for you to disable this feature but I'm bringing up your bug report internally, and we may consider adding some settings to disable this when you're in terminal input.

You can easily hit ESC to close the menu for the time being, sorry for the inconvenience.

I suspected as much. Personally, I'd really rather it only do that in agent mode.

Hrmmm, what about this instead? Pop up the file list whenever someone types a path prefix, like /, ./, ~/, or my-local-dir/. You could still get 95% of the benefit, and better discoverability (since it would piggyback off existing typing behavior).

And then we can still use @ in agent mode for adding context.

Can we please make this an opt-in feature, or make an option to disable it? This seriously inhibits some development, for instance when trying to run commands like npm install @somelibrary/somelib, the @-based file selector doesn't apply here. In fact it very much gets in the way!

I have to agree with @KingMob, @ isn't the best symbol to use here... It would be better to using *nix path syntax to trigger a file search. Just being honest here guys, this is a pretty big misstep for UX/DX.
