Problem Statement
I was using copilot cli recently, then I found it is quite convenient to view the plan file in a separate md viewer when the terminal cannot pin input box at the bottom now.
I can view the plan, scroll it to anywhere, without forgetting what I want to amend into the input box next.
Proposed Solution
Press Ctrl + Y to open the default markdown file viewer.
Alternative Solutions
Open markdown file viewer with /plan when the session is already in plan mode.
Priority
High - Significant impact on productivity
Feature Category
Interactive mode (TUI)
Use Case Example
- Ask claude to make a complex plan
- It gave you a long initial plan
- You have to view it in the terminal
- You have to remember what you want to change (in mind or in another file)
- Scroll to the bottom to find the feedback input box
- Type or paste your thought.
Additional Context
Use Ctrl + Y to open the plan.md when using plan mode in copilot cli terminal.
