[Feature]: Undo Settling a Thread #4706
Description
Activity
I can see a couple of ways to undo settling a thread (I know this because I have had to manually unsettle threads #4811 ).
Screenshots below in case it helps:
From the sidebar:
From the prompt on top of the input
Mind you, I'm on the latest build of the application and I can't imagine you missed these so maybe it's something that's been fixed already.
That is fair, and I appreciate you pointing that out.
These ways of undoing a thread were present when I made the issue.
The settle tab that is at the bottom of the sidebar is nice to undo it. My issue with it is I have a lot of threads (80 currently), so when I am settling some of the threads that are at the top and I want to undo one, it is quite annoying to scroll down to the bottom.
It does not happen often and would be low priority compared to agent orchestration and the other things Theo and his team are working on. I do however think this is a quick fix and am happy to help with it if they ask. (Not sure if they just want me to make a PR after I check that checkbox or not)I still stand by my feature request.

Problem or use case
When you click to settle a thread, there is no way to undo settling the thread, short of searching for that thread and unsettling it.
Proposed solution
When you click to settle a thread there should be a way to undo the action.
This could be both
CMD + Z& a popup like saying thread settled with a undo button.Why this matters
It is a UX improvement. Most people when they do a mistake will press
CMD + Z. This feature should follow the same design.Smallest useful scope
Make it so that Edit -> Undo will undo settling a thread. Since this has the keybind
CMD + Zit will allow that as well.Alternatives considered
