Interactive shell commands in Gemini CLI 🚀 Press Ctrl+f to focus on shell commands that require input (ex. npm start, vim, git commit, gcloud, etc) 🧑‍💻 You no longer have to jump to a separate terminal or deal with an agentic CLI that “hangs” for interactive commands. ✨ 👇Read... the blog linked below to learn moreshow more

HUGE!! love it!

Such a nice feature 😁

Very excited to try this

Brother,please stop with these things. You know what we are waiting for. Ask them to hurry up. I dont wanna renew again Codex.

@aeitroc I hear you! I am just as eager as you are 😂

Such a big win

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.

Good to know thanks …

No problem! Excellent question 🤝

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

Thanks for sharing such useful tips! I didn't know about the feature.

My pleasure! 😁

we need Gemini CLI inside nvim ,not the other way around

That I can’t control 😂

@villainesthetic

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

@meddi_kada Me too 😎

Hah! That is very very cool

We sure think so 😎

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

Yes it sure does.

WOW!!!

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?

Great news!! Will try it out right now with `flutter run`

Heck yes! Please do 🙏

if only they can fix their model to do real coding work...

We hear you 👍

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 👍

Thanks man, it is a big issue!

Splooosh!
