ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a new diff-to-external-editor workflow spanning native context-menu handling, workspace path resolution, local editor/file-manager launches, and remote SSH deep links. That cross-environment runtime and UX surface is broader than a small isolated UI tweak and warrants human review. No code changes detected at You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules.

i'd prefer this being in a context menu on right clicking the header. |
|
Got it, on it! |
|
@juliusmarminge do you want both actions there (Copy + Open), or just Open? |
|
@juliusmarminge I've moved Open action to right-click menu. Item's label is dynamic, displays the editor's name, e.g. |

493-571: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winRemove the early return when remote editor resolution is unavailable; allow the local editor fallback to execute.
When
remoteOpenResolution.state.modeis"remote-unavailable", the function returns at line 499 without attempting to open the file in a local editor. This blocks the promised fallback behavior: on machines without SSH connectivity but with configured local editors, the action does nothing instead of opening the file locally.Remove the
if (remoteOpenResolution.state.mode === "remote-unavailable") return;early return. The function will then fall through to theopenInPreferredEditor(targetPath)call when remote editor resolution is unavailable or not configured for remote-links mode.Also update
canOpenDiffFileExternallyto allow execution when local editors exist, regardless of remote availability. The gate should enable the action whenremoteOpenResolution.state.mode !== "remote-links"and local editors are available, not block it whenmode === "remote-unavailable".Proposed fix
const launchDiffFileInEditor = useCallback( (targetPath: string) => { - if (remoteOpenResolution.state.mode === "remote-unavailable") return; if (remoteOpenResolution.state.mode === "remote-links") { if (!preferredRemoteEditor) return; const url = buildRemoteOpenUrl({ editor: preferredRemoteEditor, host: remoteOpenResolution.state.host.host, absolutePath: targetPath, }); if (!url) return; void openRemoteEditorUrl(url).then((opened) => { if (!opened) { console.warn("Failed to open remote diff file in editor.", { operation: "open-remote-diff-file", }); return; } markRemoteOpenHintSeen(); setPreferredRemoteEditor(preferredRemoteEditor); }); return; } void (async () => { const result = await openInPreferredEditor(targetPath); if (result._tag === "Failure" && !isAtomCommandInterrupted(result)) { console.warn("Failed to open diff file in editor.", { operation: "open-diff-file", ...(routeThreadRef ? { environmentId: routeThreadRef.environmentId, threadId: routeThreadRef.threadId, } : {}), ...safeErrorLogAttributes(squashAtomCommandFailure(result)), }); } })(); }, [/* ... */], ); const canOpenDiffFileExternally = activeCwd != null && activeThread != null && remoteOpenResolution.isResolved && - remoteOpenResolution.state.mode !== "remote-unavailable" && (remoteOpenResolution.state.mode === "remote-links" ? preferredRemoteEditor !== null : (serverConfig?.availableEditors.length ?? 0) > 0);🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

@coderabbitai The `remote-unavailable` early return is intentional, not a missing fallback. That state only arises when the client runs on a different machine than the thread environment and no SSH route exists (see `resolveRemoteOpenState` in `apps/web/src/remoteOpen.ts`). `openInPreferredEditor` execs the editor on the environment's machine, so "falling back" would open the file on the remote server, invisible to the user. The main Open picker (`OpenInPicker.tsx`) disables its action in the same state and shows "No SSH route". The diff context menu mirrors that behavior. No change. |

Drop the header button scaffolding left over from the first iteration (shared header button, diff-header variant, label and platform patches), resolve diff paths once for both header actions, pick the preferred editor from a single hook keyed by remote-open mode, and reuse the existing file-manager reveal labels so WSL reports File Explorer. The launch decision is a pure helper with tests.

thanks for preserving the existing filename-click behavior and for the path-resolution and remote-routing tests. we are closing this under the current feature policy because we are not expanding the diff controls at this time. filename clicks already open the internal viewer as intended. the right-click menu adds a new external-editor action to the diff header rather than fixing that behavior. any independently reproducible bug in the existing remote-editor opening path can be considered separately, with a focused reproduction and fix. closed at the request of @StiensWout. |

The diff header filename opens the file in T3 Code’s internal viewer, but the header has no explicit way to open that file in the configured external editor.
This adds a right-click menu to a filename, with
Open in <editorName>item. The filename keeps its internal-viewer behavior, while the new action resolves the workspace-relative path and routes through the same preferred-editor setting used by the top Open control.Built with GPT-5.6 Sol in the T3 Code harness.
Note
Add "open in external editor" button to diff files in
DiffPanelopenDiffFileInEditorin diffFileActions.ts to resolve repo-relative diff paths against the active workspace before invoking the editor opener.DiffFileHeaderActionButtonandDiffFileOpenInEditorButtoncomponents, and adiff-headerbutton variant in button.tsx.Macroscope summarized 116a925.
Note
Low Risk
Scoped UI and path-resolution changes reusing existing editor and workspace helpers; no auth or data-handling changes.
Overview
Adds an Open in editor control next to the copy-path button on each diff file header, while filename clicks still open the in-app file viewer.
A shared
DiffFileHeaderActionButtonbacks both header actions.openDiffFileInEditorresolves workspace paths (same rules as the primary diff action) and invokes the editor launcher without opening the right-panel viewer.DiffPanelcentralizes launching inlaunchDiffFileInEditor, which uses remote editor URLs when available and otherwise the existing preferred local editor flow; the new button stays disabled until an editor can be resolved.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 9c10b1c.
