Amazon Q Auto Accept
⚡ Auto-accept Amazon Q agent tool execution in VS Code — no more clicking Run manually.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Toggle Shortcut
🔴 You MUST know this shortcut:
Ctrl + Shift + Q
(Cmd + Shift + Q on Mac)
When auto-accept is ON, you CANNOT type in the Amazon Q chat input box.
The extension polls commands that steal focus from the chat panel.
Always press Ctrl+Shift+Q to toggle OFF before typing in the Q chat.

🤔 What Does It Do?
When Amazon Q Developer runs in agent mode, it asks for confirmation before:
- 🔧 Running shell commands → the
Run button
- 📝 Editing your files → the
Allow button
This extension automatically clicks both for you. Hands-free agentic coding. 🚀
⚙️ How It Works
Amazon Q suggests a command
↓
┌─────────┐
│ Run │ ← Extension auto-clicks this ✅
└─────────┘
↓
Command executes automatically
The extension polls aws.amazonq.runCmdExecution and aws.amazonq.inline.acceptEdit at a configurable interval. A concurrency lock (isRunning) ensures only one approval is in-flight at a time, preventing duplicate triggers.
