[Feature]: Accept/decline for file edits

[rishiskhare]

Hi inkeep, thanks for your work on this project. I have genuinely given it a shot and was excited by this - however, there is a key missing feature that makes me hesitant to use this.

What problem are you trying to solve?

Currently, documents are being edited without any ability to control what the agent edits in my notes.

Proposed solution

Ideally, I want a solution like Cursor where I can have Accept/Decline for each edit and the ability to see the diff of what it is doing. Right now, I just see fading animations with text edited without my knowledge and my ability to intercept. I want to see the explicit diff of how it edited my notes. Currently, I am using Cursor for notekeeping for this exact reason since I can see the diff of the edit and click accept/decline for each proposed edit though it is not ideal since it is a code editor - if you're able to deliver it, I'm sure many other people will take notice.

Thanks for writing in. We have been working on a diffing system that will unlock this type of functionality. I'll let you know when there is more to share

Hi @rishiskhare thank you for the feedback! Would your ideal solution be to manually accept the write edits and view the diff directly in the agents panel, or would you prefer the suggested diffs to appear directly in the UI?

@shagun-singh-inkeep I would strongly encourage to really try writing notes using Cursor to get a feel for the target design before starting to design this feature. Ideally, I'd want an experience as similar as possible to that - where the "files changed" appears in the side panel and the actual red and green highlighting appears in the doc editor that I can approve/reject. Would give me much better control of what is being written as against an agent just re-writing my carefully curated notes on a whim. The reason I don't want to just use Cursor for notes is because it's not built for it - it doesn't have proper linking between notes or knowledge graphs.
