Feature: Add possibility to add file to chat, and write a prompt afterwards #447
Description
Issue
Right now, when the model asks for a file, you can choose to add it, add all or skip.
When choosing to add it, it seems like it will be send directly back to the model.
But a lot of times, the model not only asks for a further file, but also has questions I should answer. To avoid an unnecessary roundtrip (and waiting time), it would be great, having an option, for
"Add file to chat, but not sending it, but being able to write a prompt and with that prompt the newly added file(s) should be send back to the model".
Ok, as we all know, there are only two hard things in computer science, naming things and cache invalidation ;-).
Or otherwise an option, that when adding a file to the chat after the model requests it, it will never be directly send, but you can always write a new prompt first. I could also live with that.

#447: Tweak responses to work with TUI
dwash96 commented on Feb 19, 2026
So there is a tweak-responses: <boolean> configuration parameter that enables a "Tweak" response like:
That if you decide to do so, opens up the command lines standard editor (probably vim) and you get a chance to modify the model's response out right if you, say, don't want it to add a particular file or give further instructions on what to do with models. There is an argument that the tweak point should be after the program resolves files to potentially add to the chat but you also mention delaying sending files over and the current behavior might be more your intention

what would be the difference between yes and tweak?
From your description i'm not 100% sure what will happen, but it sounds like it will be overly complicated for what i'm hoping for. But i'll try it out as soon as it is released.
I'm hoping for an option, that when the model asks for another file, and when you agree to add it to the context, it would behave like you've just added a file with the "/add" command. So nothing will be send back to the model yet.
