### Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

### Describe the request

I want to review mode my changes AND the bots changes vs main, not just the bot’s unreviewed changes. How to do this? Maybe with GitLens? It is seamless in pycharm!

Pycharm

- desired behavior  
Compare Branch with Tag is the behavior I want. I just type cmd k main with the file open (no reselecting the file or click ops etc) and keep coding in my green region!

Gitlens attempt

Open All Changes → doesnt show diff with main and requires reselecting current file and only compares against HEAD, not main, , additionally there is a diff vs main view but its not editable.

Anyone know how to do this?

ideally there are 2 types each of green and red (bot and human) but even 1 is a huge value add
