[Feature] Option to compare text with original selection
While immediate text replacement is often preferred, there are instances where comparing the new text to the existing one is beneficial.
Could you consider implementing a switch for appending or replacing text in the pop-up window? If set to "append text," the text would be inserted below the selected content. Naturally, there may be more effective methods to implement such a feature.
That’s an interesting proposition. Although, have you considered this:
The most effective way to compare (for me) is to keep cycling over ctrl+z, followed by ctrl+y.
The changes made (for instance, with proofread) will be pretty obvious this way :)
Yes, this is how I/we do it today. However, if it is used to alter several sentences, it can become difficult to notice the changes. In any case, I don't want to request it only for myself; perhaps we can gather more pro and con arguments.
Hi folks, +1 for changes preview. It can be useful if I don't want to change the text. For example, I want to ask AI to explain the code that's been selected in Visual Studio (yes, I can use a VS plugin for that) or summarize history from chat.
Please add this feature.
It would be very helpful for people if there were options to:
- Directly apply changes
- Append changed texts below the original
- Send to chat result window: allows users to see input text and output text for comparison, with the accept/reject button and further modification through follow-up prompts.
the options could be cycled/toggled through a button/toggle placed on either the red or the purple area marked in the image below:
Hello :)
This is something I'll work on shortly after we release customizable buttons, so hopefully in the v8 release.
@vfxturjo thank you for the UX idea, I'll keep that in mind as I brainstorm the best approach to implement this from a UX perspective.
