Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
When reviewing changes proposed by the Agent, the diff view highlights entire changed lines but does not indicate which specific characters or words within those lines were modified. This makes reviewing subtle edits — especially in prose-heavy files like Markdown — very difficult, since the reviewer must manually compare old and new text character by character.
Expected behavior: The diff view should highlight the specific characters or words that changed within each line (similar to git diff --word-diff or GitHub’s inline diff rendering).
Current behavior: Only full lines are highlighted as changed, with no sub-line granularity.
Impact: Reviewing small wording tweaks, punctuation fixes, or variable renames in long lines requires significant manual effort, slowing down the review-and-accept workflow.
Environment: Cursor on Linux (Ubuntu), observed with Markdown files.
