I don't know, but you may mitigate the problem with `SwapExists` to call
a function that uses a less intrusive prompt.

For example, vimrc includes:

vim9script
import autoload "my/libvimrc.vim" as lib
set cmdheight=2
autocmd SwapExists * lib.SwapExists()

Then, in libvimrc.vim, I define:

export def SwapExists()
echohl WarningMsg
echon $'A swap file exists: {fnamemodify(v:swapname, ":t")}'
echohl None
echon "\n" .. 'read-(o)nly (e)dit (r)ecover (d)elete (q)uit (a)bort (ENTER for details) '
v:swapchoice = nr2char(getchar())
echo "\r"
enddef

The same can be done in legacy Vim script, of course.

Hope this helps,
Life.
