Continue.dev Plugin Optimization Suggestions

1. Interactive Interface Optimization

• Issue: The current permission request prompt is not prominent enough.
• Suggestions:
  • Use more noticeable colors and larger fonts to enhance the prompt's visibility, and simplify shortcut keys.
  • Add reminder pop-ups or sound notifications to ensure users do not overlook important permission requests.

2. Mode Switching Shortcut Optimization

• Issue: Switching between chat, plan, and agent modes is not convenient enough.
• Suggestions:
  • Optimize shortcut key settings, drawing inspiration from Claude Code’s interaction style, using Tab + Shift for quick mode switching.
  • Support user-defined shortcut key bindings to improve operational efficiency and personalized experience.

3. Add Checkpoint Functionality

• Issue: Lack of a quick recovery mechanism for code and conversation states.
• Suggestions:
  • Introduce a Checkpoint functionality to support one-click saving:
    • Snapshot of the current file state
    • Snapshot of the conversation history
  • Allow users to restore to any checkpoint at any time, significantly improving debugging and development efficiency.

4. Integration with Claude Code / Gemini Code / Qwen Code, Addressing Their Shortcomings

• Conversation History Management:
  • Support adding, deleting, and editing conversation content to allow flexible history management.
  • Provide search and filter functions to quickly locate key conversation content.
• Conversation Content Summarization:
  • Enable one-click generation of conversation summaries to help users quickly review context.
• Checkpoint Management:
  • Enhance snapshot functionality to support multi-version snapshot comparison.
  • Provide snapshot tagging and description features for easy identification by users.
