Summary of Changes

Hello @Adib234, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request disables the double-ESC key combination's ability to trigger the /rewind command. The change was implemented to prevent issues with incomplete rewind functionality in preview builds, which could lead to a poor user experience. By removing this partial feature, the user interface for escape key prompts is also simplified, providing a more consistent and predictable interaction.

Highlights

• Rewind Functionality Disabled: The double-ESC key combination no longer triggers the /rewind command. This feature was disabled due to it being in a partial state and causing 'unknown command' errors in some nightly builds.
• Simplified Escape Prompt UI: The UI message displayed when pressing Esc once has been simplified. It now consistently shows 'Press Esc again to clear prompt', removing the conditional 'rewind' message.
• Code Cleanup and Test Updates: Related code for the /rewind functionality, including its submission logic, coreEvents import, and history state usage, has been removed. Corresponding unit tests and UI snapshots have been updated to reflect these changes.

Code Review

This pull request disables the /rewind functionality that was triggered by pressing Escape twice on an empty prompt. The changes correctly remove the rewind logic from the input prompt handler and update associated tests. However, the proposed comment regarding the StatusDisplay component's UI hint for the double-escape action has been dropped. The suggestion to hide the 'Press Esc again to clear prompt' message when the input buffer is empty contradicts the rule that the Esc-Esc shortcut should consistently clear the input buffer (including when empty or only whitespace), and its UI hints should reflect this behavior. Therefore, the hint should remain visible to maintain consistency with the defined Esc-Esc action.
