Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

I know there is a similar issue, but that is asking to add an ask mode. This is different, what I would like is to have an option where I can ask about the current change being proposed without having to discard the code. Right now if I want to make a question about code the diff disappears and the code has to be generated again.

Proposed Solution

Having a input field for "ask claude about this change" that will not discard the current change and wont close the diff view.

Alternative Solutions

Opening claude on the browser and copy pasting the issue.

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Feature Category

Interactive mode (TUI)

Use Case Example

For example claude code suggests to do a change of 10 lines of code, and I have a question about one of those lines. I have to write on "tell claude what to do instead" but it would be great to have an extra field "ask claude about this change" so I dont lose the code that I already audited and it doesn't get regenerated.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Adding an "ask claude about this change" input field could allow users to query about the current code change without discarding it.

Guidance

  • Consider implementing a new input field in the TUI that allows users to ask questions about the proposed code change without losing the current diff view.
  • This field could be added alongside the existing "tell claude what to do instead" input, providing an alternative way for users to interact with the suggested changes.
  • To verify the effectiveness of this feature, test it with various code changes and user queries to ensure that the diff view remains intact and the user's questions are properly handled.
  • When designing this feature, consider the user experience and ensure that the new input field is clearly labeled and easily accessible.

Notes

The proposed solution seems to address a specific pain point in the current workflow, but its implementation may depend on the underlying architecture and technical constraints of the Claude code system.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the proposed "ask claude about this change" input field to improve the user experience and reduce the need for workarounds like copying and pasting code into a browser.
