[FEATURE]: Configurable Agent Cycling Order (Tab) #7372
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
I use multiple primary agents in my workflow (e.g., Build, Plan, and a custom Development agent). Currently, when I use Tab to cycle between them, the order seems fixed (likely alphabetical or based on load order).
For example, I often want to toggle quickly between Build and Plan. However, my custom Development agent sits between them in the cycle. Pressing Tab from Build sends me to Development instead of Plan. Instead I want it to be in the order of Build, Plan, Development.
I propose being able to configure the order with something like:
"agent": {
"build": {
"mode": "primary",
"priority": 10
},
"plan": {
"mode": "primary",
"priority": 5
},
"development": {
"mode": "primary",
"priority": 1
}

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:
Feel free to ignore if your feature request is specifically about configurable priority ordering rather than navigation UI improvements.

My two cents is to prefer convention over configuration. Priority lists get unwieldy when you have a lot to relate and need to move them. I think something more along the lines of #6335 would be better.
