Describe the bug

In version 1.0.55, the bell character doesn't seem to be sent (I don't get the urgent window hint anymore) even when having "bell": true in the settings.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Write any prompt
  2. Wait for the LLM to finish the task

Expected behavior

The urgent window hint should be set

    Hi @antoyo, thank you for reporting this one!

    The setting for enabling the bell is beep not bell 😄
    Could you try changing your settings file to "beep": true instead?

    It does work with beep indeed.
    I guess it would help if copilot would emit in warning when using keys that don't exist.

    This appears to be resolved as of GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.95. Please update to that release or a newer stable version. We're closing this as completed. If it still happens, please comment with your version and reproduction steps.
