normal mode in Edit blocks popup?

[georgeguimaraes]

So, I select a block, and type <leader>ae, which gives me the popup:

But the popup is in Normal mode. I need to type i to go into Insert mode:

Is this expected? Is there a way to enter Insert mode automatically?

(tks for the plugin btw!)

why don‘t we use vim.input here and instead vim.api.nvim_open_win? in my case I don‘t like the UI at all but instead want the default input field at the bottom

This is my biggest gripe with this plugin too! Here's how I'm solving it until someone smarter than me figures it out:

keys = {
    {
        "<leader>ae", -- overrides default binding
        function()
            require("avante.api").edit()
            vim.schedule(function()
                vim.cmd("startinsert")
            end)
        end,
        mode = "v",
        desc = "avante: edit",
    },
},
