Problem

While an agent question is pending, the question panel listens for 1-9 on document and picks the matching option. It skips inputs, textareas and contenteditable, but not dialogs, menus, popups or select triggers. So a digit pressed in one of those answers the question behind it. For example, choose Delete in the thread's actions menu and press 1 with the confirm dialog's Cancel focused: option 1 goes to the agent.

Change

The handler's closest() check now also matches select, [role="dialog"], [aria-modal="true"], [role="menu"], [role="combobox"] and [data-slot$="popup"], mostly the layers the Usage and Settings shortcut guards already skip. [role="menu"] covers Base UI submenus and the fallback context menu, which have no popup slot; [role="combobox"] covers a closed Base UI select trigger such as the Browser device preset picker. The question panel never renders inside these layers, so its own rows keep the shortcut.

Scope and approval

A small fix for an obvious bug: one selector line plus a test, the same kind of bug #1810 fixed for the answer editor.

Verification

  • ComposerPendingUserInputPanel.browser.test.tsx presses 1 next to a focused dialog, menu popup, menu item, native select and closed Base UI Select trigger: all select an option on main, none with the fix; a plain button still selects. Focused tests and vp run check:changed pass.
  • Real run, 2026-11-11: web, isolated dev servers, synthetic data, Replay (dev) question scenario, input in the Browser panel. main at 3a8c250cb0 against this head:
Focus when 1 is pressed main this head
Delete confirm dialog, Cancel answered pending
Thread actions menu item answered pending
Thread actions menu just opened answered pending
Closed Browser device preset select answered pending
Thread details popover (non-modal dialog) answered pending
Conversation area (control) answered answer field
Question header (control) not run answered

On this head's older base the composer takes a typed answer while a question is pending, so with the menu just opened or focus on the conversation the 1 went into the answer field. Merged locally with main at 3a8c250cb0, the opened menu leaves the question pending with nothing typed, and 1 on the conversation answers it.

Closed Browser device preset select focused, 1 pressed. Before, option 1 is submitted:

Before: the closed Browser device preset select is focused, and the question is already answered with Strict schemas

After, the question is still pending with nothing selected:

After: the closed Browser device preset select is focused, and the question still shows both options unselected

Not checked:

  • Native <select>: no screen in the web app renders one today, so only the test row covers it.
  • Desktop: same handler and layers, native thread menu. No desktop capture.
  • Mobile has its own question card and is unaffected.

…selects

While a question was pending, pressing 1-9 with focus in a dialog, a menu (including the web fallback context menu), a select/combobox popup or a native select picked an answer (single-select could auto-advance and submit) and swallowed the key from the focused control.

The document keydown handler now also skips targets inside select, [role="dialog"], [aria-modal="true"], [role="menu"] and [data-slot$="popup"], matching the usage and settings shortcut guards.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 9f23042

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Pending-question digit shortcuts now ignore events from selects, dialogs, menus, and popups, preventing unintended answer selection while interacting with those controls. The change is confined to keyboard-event filtering.

Walkthrough

The digit shortcut handler now skips targets inside additional interactive elements. A browser test checks whether pressing 1 toggles an option across the tested focus contexts.

Changes: Digit shortcut focus handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shortcut exclusions and browser coverage
apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerPendingUserInputPanel.tsx, apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerPendingUserInputPanel.browser.test.tsx
The handler skips targets inside selects, editable elements, dialogs, modals, menus, comboboxes, and popup-slot elements. The browser test checks shortcut behavior across focus contexts.

…triggers

A closed Base UI select trigger (role="combobox", e.g. the browser device preset picker) still let 1-9 pick and auto-advance a pending answer. The guard now also skips [role="combobox"] targets.

Verified in a real dev environment

Verified unchanged head beb79f74f37cfc64a27c406cc295db10620ce8f5 on Linux using the actual dev web app, repo Playwright, /usr/bin/google-chrome, and real Codex gpt-6.1-sol turns through the local proxy. Projects and questions were created through the UI, without mocks or replay data.

  • Before: on github/main at 8b74a69019, opened the Delete confirmation with a real question pending. Pressed 1 with Cancel focused, then cancelled the dialog. Alpha had been submitted behind the dialog; Codex replied Received Alpha.
  • After: on this exact PR head, repeated Cancel + 1. After cancelling, the same Alpha/Beta question remained pending with neither option selected. Pressing 1 on a thread-menu item and on the closed project-filter combobox also left it pending.
  • Nearby behavior: typing 1 in the answer editor inserted text without selecting an option. After clearing it, pressing 2 with the question header focused submitted Beta, and Codex replied Received Beta.
  • Blacksmith: vp test run apps/web/src/components/chat/ComposerPendingUserInputPanel.browser.test.tsx passed all 6 cases. vp run check:changed 54c5f25249961a1aa0b61932329092eadbd9d6fc passed format, lint, both knip passes, affected typechecks, all 9 nearby browser tests, and React compiler coverage. Existing CI checks are green. No source changes were needed.

Before: the digit in the confirmation submitted Alpha to the real provider.

main: after Cancel plus 1, Codex received Alpha

After: cancelling the same confirmation leaves the question unanswered.

PR: after Cancel plus 1, both question options remain unselected

Short recording of the PR interaction checks and the real provider response to Beta. Idle waits between checks were cut; playback and seeking were checked after upload.

PR: protected controls keep the question pending, normal shortcut submits Beta

Not verified

Native Electron, iOS, Android, macOS/Windows, other providers, and relay/tunnel connections were not exercised on this Linux web run. Native select and closed Base UI Select are covered by the focused browser tests; native select and the browser-device preset control were not exercised in the running app.

@maria-rcks, thanks for the real-provider run that showed the confirm dialog case on main. I ran the two you listed in the running web app today (Replay question scenario, input in the Browser panel): with the closed Browser device preset select focused, 1 answered the question on main at 3a8c250cb0 and left it pending on this head, and the delete dialog, thread menu and thread details popover behaved the same way. A native <select> could not be exercised, because no screen in the web app renders one today, so only the browser test covers that row. Desktop and mobile are still unchecked; the description now has the full table and the preset captures.

One more observation from the same run, in case it is useful for #32071: on its head 92200a2db7, pressing 1 right after opening the thread actions menu (focus on the menu itself) still answered the pending question. With this PR's change on current main (a local merge, not pushed), the question stays pending in that case.
