[BUG] a (assign) does nothing in Issues view (v4.22.0) #748

Describe the bug

In Issues view, pressing a (assign) does nothing (no prompt, no UI change). The keybinding shows up in other sections (PRs/Notifications), but in Issues it does not appear in the help overlay and does not work.

To Reproduce

  1. Open gh dash (extension dlvhdr/gh-dash) on macOS.
  2. Go to the Issues view.
  3. Select any issue.
  4. Press a.
  5. Nothing happens (no assign prompt; help overlay also doesn’t list a for issues).

Expected behavior

Pressing a on a selected issue should trigger the Assign action (show an assignee prompt / assign the issue), as documented in “Selected Issue” keybindings.

  • Install method: GitHub CLI extension (gh extension upgrade dlhdr/gh-dash reports “already up to date”)
  • GitHub CLI version: gh version 2.85.0 (2026-01-14)
