Applying changes to a list of files

Discussion

Is there a good way to make bulk edits using composer? I’ve got a find in all files that reveals ~ 20 files with a particular pattern. I’d like to use composer to make a similar change to all of them, a bit more than is possible with find and replace. Composer is able to do it a few at a time, but I have to manually add all of the file names to the composer context and then it changes a few of those files, I have to prompt it to keep changing more of the files, etc.

Would love a way to bulk edit all of the files found in the search. Any ideas?

That would be nice, also what would be great, as I had the same exact problem, is after searching for a string repo wide, and then clicking to open all search results → it opens the search results with a few lines of code above and below. If we could put this whole search result list into the composer or llm and it would see and edit only those small pieces of files, this could drastically reduce the required context length and keep the llm focused on what’s needed.
