Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

I would like the Changes panel UI to support staging and unstaging not only whole files, but also individual hunks within a file.

My intended workflow is:

  • Review a hunk.
  • Stage it once I consider it reviewed.
  • Leave hunks I haven’t reviewed yet unstaged.

This would make the Git index useful as a personal review state.

For larger Agent changes, this is much more useful than staging at file granularity because a single file can contain several independent changes and I may want to review them incrementally.

Hey @sergey-ltk, thanks for the suggestion, and for laying out the review workflow behind it.

FYI, you can get hunk-level staging today in the classic Source Control view (Editor Window/IDE). The Changes panel in the Agent Window doesn’t support this yet!
