Description

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** Requests and ideas

We'd like a direct way to drop into a simple file editor from the diff for small tweaks to the agent changes. At the moment we use the Terminal tab and open vim/emacs/edit from there.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating the desktop app's diff view and determine how a simple editor could be opened for small agent-change tweaks; done means users can reach that editor directly from the diff.
