[FEATURE]: Auto-enter edit mode when typing on 'Type your own answer' in question prompt #34476
I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
When the agent asks a question via the Question tool and the user navigates to the "Type your own answer" option, they must press Enter to enter edit mode before they can start typing. This is an unnecessary keystroke — if you've already selected the custom answer option, the intent to type is clear.
Proposed change: When "Type your own answer" is the selected (highlighted) option and the user presses any printable character, immediately enter edit mode and insert that character into the textarea. This removes the extra Enter keypress.
Navigation keys (↑↓/jk, h/l for tabs, Enter to confirm, Esc to dismiss) continue to work as before. Only printable characters trigger the auto-edit behavior.
Related issues: #30028 (inline input field proposal), #30393 (Enter swallowed in custom answer submission).
+1. This is the workaround many of us use to attach extra context (see #48820), so reducing the friction to enter a custom answer helps even after proper comment fields land.
