Description
Dupe Check
- I have searched Warp feature requests and there are no duplicates
Describe the solution you'd like?
I want to be able to start actively editing in Vim while the agent is still accessible in the chat input at the bottom of the screen. Right now it's like if we enter vim, we can no longer talk to the agent while doing stuff in vim.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The issue is that I do everything with the agent now, so I never want to be without it in any context.
