Amazon Q Corrupts Terminal Keybindings During Command Completion

[jihadnaji]

Checks

• I ran q doctor in the affected command line session and it didn't resolve my issue
• I ran q restart and it didn't resolve my issue
• I searched the discussions in this repo and there are no duplicates of my issue

Expected behavior

The terminal should continue to accept input normally, without altering the behavior of the Enter and Backspace keys.

Actual behavior

After Amazon Q suggests completions for the flutter command, the terminal starts behaving incorrectly:

• Pressing Enter results in ^M being displayed.
• Pressing Backspace results in ^? being displayed.
• Other special characters may also appear in place of their intended actions.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a terminal on macOS with Amazon Q installed and enabled.
2. Type the command flutter run -d {device id} where {device id} is a valid Flutter device ID (such as chrome, macos, etc.).
3. As Amazon Q begins to provide command suggestions, the terminal input starts displaying unusual characters when pressing Enter or any other action key.

Happens to me whenever I try the command:

flutter emulators ...

Everything after that, where the three dots are my terminal just writes every key as an escape sequence.
Did not find a solution yet.

Im using Kitty Terminal with zsh.

Disabling Q is the only fix I found.

[jihadnaji]

I am still facing this issue, even after the 1.4.5 update.

[jihadnaji]

The issue seems to happen after it loads the available device names.

me too... ;;

I am experiencing the exact issue the jihadnaji has described here on version 1.60.

[jihadnaji]

I tried every update from 1.3.3 until 1.6.0 and the issue is still not resolved.
