 **How to use the global configuration manager:**
 *   Move the cursor to any configuration option or backend line.

Under `UI PREFERENCES`, customize colors (e.g. `thinking_color`, `prompt_color`, `waiting_color`, `service_color`, `error_color`, `prompt_hint_color`).

Under `UI PREFERENCES`, customize colors (e.g. `thinking_color`, `prompt_color`, `waiting_color`, `service_color`, `error_color`, `prompt_hint_color`).
 *   **`a`**: Adds a new backend and prompts for API type, default model, API key file, and base URL for OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic backends.
 *   **`d`**: Clears the selected backend field, deletes a backend after confirmation, or resets a UI preference back to default. The last backend cannot be deleted.
 *   **`r`**: Resets all global configuration options to their last saved state.
