> I want to be able to highlight some block of code, ask the AI to modify it in some way, and then I want to see a diff view of before/after that lets me accept or reject changes.
If you squint, that's the same as using an IDE with first class git support and co-editing with a (junior) pair programmer that commits each thing you ask them to do locally, or just saves the file and lets you see stageable diffs you can reject instead of push.
Try the /commit workflow using aider.chat as a REPL in your terminal, with the same git repo open in whatever IDE you like that supports real time git sync.
The REPL talks to you in diffs, and you can undo commits, and of course your IDE shows you any Aider changes the same as it would show you any other devs' changes.
That said, I use Zed and while it doesn't have all the smarts of Aider, its inline integration is fantastic.
