Plan mode can be “quite frustrating” ™ when you’re trying to tune it.
I’m trying to tune what a plan will be and I cannot copy/paste sections from the plan into the current plan prompt. I want to do this to highlight areas where the plan is wrong. But alas, no copy/paste to the current plan chat. This means I have to type it. aka: shoot me in the face!
i’ve done this on both windows and mac. I don’t have a repeatable story. unfortunately. but it has happened many times. It makes plan mode 20% of what it can be. If I can paste + tune/correct it, great. Otherwise Im sitting there RE-TYPING a broken thing in the plan. Grr!
Please make this work. Pretty please. I’ll even give you cake!
I found I can switch to markdown mode, to at least copy from that. Bit painful tho as I don’t find markdown nice to read. It would be nicer if I could copy direct from the preview. Also, it seems ‘find’ doesn’t work for me in plan mode either (preview, nor markdown).
Remember, if u manually add something to plan u can’t save it. If you edit plan and click “Build” Cursor will use their plan without your changes. This is also annoying.
Agreed. Similarly, the to-do list at the bottom is not available in markdown mode, you cannot edit them at all (especially frustrating given how to-dos are kinda broken at the moment across the board).
This and a bunch of other rough edges are keeping me from using Plan mode.
I also can’t search and there are unsaved raw-adlfjaldfjalf.md files EVERYWHERE.
I kind of hate Plan mode to be honest. It’s so frustrating to try edit the plan.
Yeh, plan editing needs work. But I do love plan mode itself. It’s helping me produce better results almost all of the time. I use it a log, but it’s kinda inefficient having to use the LLM to re-produce a plan where I could just edit it myself.
But I think plan mode, overall, is definitely a good thing.
