The old panel still exists, they call it a text thread.

Yeah, but text threads cannot be used as context in the inline assist right now so there's no way to apply the code.

Ah that's a bummer. You can still add threads as context, but that you cannot use slash commands there, so the only way to add them or other stuff in the context is to click buttons with the mouse. It would be nice if at least slash commands were working there.

edit: actually it is still possible to include text threads in there

You can add agent threads as context, but right now adding text threads as context doesn't work.

What, that was a thing? I was copypasteing manually, which was annoying and error prone, that's why I like the new agent panel more.

Oops, I guess.

Yeah, It was great because you were in control of where and when the edits happened.

So you could manage the context with great care, then go over to the editor and select specific regions and then "pull in" the changes that were discussed.

I guess it was silly that I was always typing "use the new code" in every inline assist message. A hotkey to "pull new code" into a selected region would have been sweet.

I don't really want to "set it and forget it" and then come back to some mega diff that is like 30% wrong. Especially right now where it keeps getting stuck and doing nothing for 30m.
