Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
Plan mode is an odd feature. Even when I feel like I have a handle on how-to use it properly, along comes Cursor with other ideas.
Most of the time the root of my challenges comes with modifying or adding refinements to an existing plan. Currently, my workflow for refining plans looks like this: I generally drag-and-drop the plan preview tab back into the Plan mode chat to have it modify the plan.
This mostly works but I have to be super specific about what I’m doing. And if I forget that specificity after adding the plan to the chat context… off it goes to do the work of what I last typed (not to the build plan itself, but it starts modifying the actual codebase). So, now I have half-baked plan, where the refinement step was just implemented while the plan is now out of sync.
What I’m really looking for is this…
Can we surface a chat window inside the Plan Previewer? This way it’s explicit that if I’m chatting in this window that I want to ask questions or modify the plan. We should still see clarifying questions surfaced and be able to provide answers. Another option would be to highlight Plan text and have an option to “Add to Plan Preview Chat” or something similar. So, what I’m really asking for a more Feature complete Planner.
