dsh-enter-approve
Approval prompts in DeepSeek Harness already answer Enter — but only
once the focus is already inside the prompt. This plugin closes that last gap so
Enter approves from anywhere, the way Codex behaves.
The gap
@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-approval renders the pending request as a composer
takeover and handles the key itself:
if (event.defaultPrevented || !event.currentTarget.contains(document.activeElement) || …) return;
React dispatches synthetic key events along the React tree, so that guard only
lets the handler run when the key event originated inside the panel. The panel
takes over the composer, focus normally falls back to document.body, and
Enter does nothing until you click the card or Tab into it.
What this does
A capture-phase keydown listener on document, which runs before the shell's
own root handler, and then:
- Decides whether to act — a bare Enter: no
Ctrl/Alt/Shift/Meta,
not inside input/textarea/select/contenteditable, not an IME composition,
not an auto-repeat.
- Yields whenever native would work — if the visible panel already contains
document.activeElement, the plugin returns immediately and the shipped
handler does its job. Behaviour only changes in the case that was broken.
- Clicks the approval control — the last enabled control in the action row,
excluding a control labelled with a recognized reject label, so a future
reordering or an unknown locale can never turn "approve" into "reject".
Nothing in DSH is patched: the plugin uses the documented window.__ModuleLoader__
client contract and a dsh.bundle.patch row like any other community plugin.
Behaviour
| Situation | Result |
|---|
| Pending prompt, focus anywhere outside it | Enter approves |
| Pending prompt, focus already inside it | Shipped handler wins; unchanged |
| Typing in a text field | Untouched |
| IME composition in progress | Untouched |
| Enter with any modifier | Untouched |
Prompt already answering (aria-busy) | Ignored |
| Hidden prompt from another session | Ignored |
| Esc | Never intercepted |
Install
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-enter-approve
Restart the host, then confirm the row appears in Settings → Plugins.
Scope and safety
- It can only click the approval control of a prompt you were going to answer
anyway. It cannot run commands, read files, or act without a pending prompt.
- It never intercepts anything except a bare Enter aimed at a visible
pending prompt.
- Disabling the plugin restores the stock behaviour exactly; no DSH files are
modified.
- The bundle is hand-written and dependency-free —
client/client.js is the
whole implementation, about 90 lines.
Uninstall
dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-enter-approve
