Walk through each part of "Live in the Agents window, drop to the editor for last-mile edits", then explain what each one does.
Step 1 of 2
Live in the Agents window, drop to the editor for last-mile editsthe layout that signals real usage
The Agents window keeps agent chat front and center, with chat history on the left and the codebase on the right, and the Command Palette commands Open Agents WindowCursor's surface listing your agent runs; open a run to read its diff and search transcripts from the command palette. Press Enter for the full definition. and Open Editor Window switch between it and the classic editor layout.
Which layout, when
- Agents window
- Default home for prompting, large chunks of work and running several agents at once
- Editor layout
- Drop here for targeted last-mile edits, such as tweaking the exact Markdown or line the agent just wrote
- The rule
- Stay in the Agents window by default; switch only when you need to hand-edit a specific file
Knowing the two windows exist, and when to use each, reads as real usage rather than a changelog skim.
