This is something annoying that would be easy to fix.
I’ll frequently type my prompt in a document in which I store important prompts, and then from there copy/paste it into the chat/agent textarea/prompt input.
When I do this, instead of pasting the text directly into the prompt input, it creates a small “chip” above the textarea that says “important-prompts.md (23123-23511)”, ie instead of showing the code in the textarea, it creates a “reference” to the content of the file.
This isn’t what I want.
I want the prompt inside of the textarea, so I can edit it, and so I can add stuff under/above it. If it is transformed into a chip, I can’t do any of that.
This also happens when pasting code, which I can then not edit, it’s a frequent problem.
The data being a chip also means I have no control over its “order” in the prompt.
A trivial way to fix this would be: right clicking on the chip brings a menu that lets me “insert” it into the prompt, or double clicking on the chip inserts it, something like that. It’s a very simple change that doesn’t really “interfere” with anything, and I suspect it’s not much effort to code (especially if using Cursor ).
Anyway, one annoyance I wanted to report.
Thanks for the amazing software.
Edit: seconds after typing this, I thought “hey, another way to do this would be to support Shift+Ctrl+V instead of Ctrl+V”. Then I tested it. And it’s already supported… Nice, problem solved. Well now I know, but I suspect others have my problem and might not figure it out, I was quite lucky…
