Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

First of all i must say, I LOVE the agents window, feels like a super sleek combination of full agentic tools, with the power of a full IDE.

During my usage, i found 2 things that felt like should exist, but (at least from what i found) dont, that would help me with the usage greatly

  1. Opening full IDE from a conversation
    Lets say Im working with an agent in a worktree, and after a few iterations, i get to something that is 95% what i want, but i am just unable to get the agent to do the last 5% as i want to, and i wish to do them manually
    I could use the file editor of the agents window, but it feels more awkward than the full IDE im used to, a simple open editor somewhere in the agent window would go a long way (currently, i open the command tab and run cursor ., which works, but feels like a hack)

  2. After creating a plan in local mode, i want to be able to start the build in a new worktree, as i dont always know the extent of the feature when i start planning, and always creating a worktree when starting to plan just adds the worktree setup time always, which might not be needed in the end (currently i work around that by copying the full plan, and manualy creating a new worktree and pasting it there).

I feel like these two will make me be able to use the full extend of cursor - plan, execution, and IDE - to its fullest
