These all describe the Plan/Build toggle disappearing in the v1.18.x desktop app redesign. If your issue is the same, consider adding a thumbs-up reaction to one of those instead of filing a separate report.
Found how to get the build/plan to work on desktop ui.
1. At the top, navigate to the Home tab.
2. Go to Settings.
3. On "General" tab scroll down to "Advanced" (note, I had to use my mouse, in order to scroll)
4. Go to "Show Agent" and turn it on.
5. Go back into the ui and see if you now see the build/plan option.
That worked in previous v1.18.x, releases but the latest v1.18.4, togging the "Show Agent" doesn't reveal the agent selector.

gavinharkness, not sure why I wasn't getting the updates. Went into General and updated to 1.18.4. two things that I noticed. It updated and in general it is showing the "Show Agent" selector for me. Also, the ui is showing the build/plan mode. I am running on windows 11 if that helps.
I've just rebooted the machine and re-installed as an administrator. Had to wait perhaps 10-15 seconds after the app loaded, before the agent selector rendered. Perhaps I wasn't waiting long enough all this time...
And now the model changes when you change the agent.

I have it enabled, but (plan, build) only appears if I go to settings, turn it off, and then turn it back on.
Maybe not a bug, but feature ;) Yet I was still looking for it like crazy and losing my mind over where it is...
Is it that rarely used to leave it on by default?

Thank you very much. it worked. It was the last setting in the Advanced section. In german it is "Benutzerdefinierte Agents" so should be something like "Custom Agents"
Now i can finally toggle again with CMD + .

That was so hidden. Absurd for such a critical feature.

Also, I tried to use tab, but that didn't seem to work

Glad it is working for you. It was a true pain when this feature wasn't available.

我建议这个功能必须开放出来(比较明显的地方),不然太难找了!我还要来 github 找答案
