Describe the enhancement you want to request
I recently noticed Claude has the AskUserQuestion tool which is an interactive picker with tabs and all. Looks something like this:
Now I'm not sure this is the best solution, but it is true, that currently answering followup questions is quite the pain, since sometimes it can overflow the screen.
What would be pretty awesome, and probably useful for other things as well, if I could invoke the editor with the previous agent output quoted, instead of just what I have in the prompt, just like when I would be replying to an email in TUI. This would also be useful when I want to write something more complex, but I want the context of where we are (the editor takes over the entire screen so I'm left to remember).
How I imagine this is having a command like editor-reply, and assuming you already had something typed into the prompt it would open your EDITOR with
> This was the LLM output
> Question 1
> Question 2
My partial prompt is here
Answering question inline would be a breeze (and very familiar to people who write emails in a TUI editor).
