I've successfully improved the "open in IDE" button to make it more user-friendly! Here's what was changed: **Before**: The button was a small icon with only a tooltip showing "Open in editor" **After**: The button now displays clear text "Open in [IDE NAME]" where [IDE NAME] is the actual configured editor (e.g., "Open in Visual Studio Code", "Open in Cursor", etc.) ### Changes made: 1. **Added config integration**: Imported the `useConfig` hook to access the user's editor configuration 2. **Created helper function**: Added `getEditorDisplayName()` to convert editor types to friendly display names 3. **Updated button UI**: - Replaced the icon-only button with a text + icon button - Added proper spacing and sizing - Removed the tooltip since the button text is now self-explanatory The button now dynamically shows the correct editor name based on the user's configuration, making it much clearer what will happen when they click it.

- Easily switch between different coding agents
- Orchestrate the execution of multiple coding agents in parallel or in sequence
- Quickly review work and start dev servers
- Track the status of tasks that your coding agents are working on
- Centralise configuration of coding agent MCP configs
