Hand-Editing a Plan Before You Approve It
Claude Code proposes a multi-file plan in plan mode, and you want to tweak two of the steps yourself — not by typing chat feedback, but by directly editing the plan text.
What do you press?
Solution
The correct answer is "Ctrl+G, which opens the plan in your editor."
Ctrl+G hands the proposed plan to your editor so you can revise it
directly before approving, which is faster than describing the
change in chat and having Claude regenerate the whole plan. Esc
exits or stops an action rather than opening an editor, there's no
"approve or reject only" restriction — hand-editing is exactly what
this shortcut is for — and /rewind restores previous checkpoints,
it doesn't reopen a not-yet-approved plan for editing.
