Why the cursor doesn’t show in my nvim process inside Gemini cli

Is this a sneaky way to go get me to burn more tokens ?

I would almost argue the opposite in that it will actually save you tokens. Most interactive commands and the ones i showed in the video (neovim, git commit) work as a pass through and purely execute the command, the LLM is not involved. They have no output, if they did then it would be passed to the LLM as context. This would improve the context the LLM has in my eyes. Previously (and in other agents still) interactive commands will hang and maybe even time out. This can cause the agent to try multiple wrong things and actually burn tokens while being a worse experience.

Gemini CLI just made interactive shell commands seamless, no more switching terminals or stuck agents.

I can't wait for Gemini CLI to dominate after Gemini 3.0's release.

Does Gemini have a VS code extension like Claude Code and Codex?

Yes it sure does.

A great step toward seamless developer experience. Real-time interactivity inside the CLI bridges human intent and AI execution beautifully. How do you see this shaping the workflow between autonomous agents and human operators in coding environments?

Will be great when working. I used Gemini CLI for 2 days and started failing with API Error...

Hmm, will take a look and see if we can escalate that bug. Will chat with the eng team 👍
