Description
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
When Claude Code proposes a change, I can only accept or reject it. If the change is 90% right but needs a small tweak (a variable name, a comment, an off-by-one), I have to accept it and edit the file myself, or reject it and re-prompt. Both add friction, and re-prompting can produce a different change entirely.
Proposed Solution
Make the diff view editable. I could modify the proposed lines directly, then accept, and Claude Code would apply my edited version and treat it as the new file state.

Research direction
The issue does not identify files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the terminal diff-view implementation and its accept/reject flow; the feature is done when proposed lines can be edited in the diff view and the accepted result applies the edited content as the new file state.
