Feature Request: Visual diff preview for Claude's file edits #18

Description

@rishi-opensource

Problem
Currently, when Claude Code suggests a file edit (using the Edit, Write, or MultiEdit tools), the changes are applied directly in the file. This creates a "blind trust" issue — users might only realize later that the code was incorrectly formatted or that unwanted modifications were made directly to their files.

Feature Request
Introduce a Visual Diff Preview feature that intercepts these edits and automatically opens a native Vim diffthis tab.

This tab would show a side-by-side split of the current file versus Claude's proposed modifications. This allows users to safely review exactly what lines are changing natively in their editor before the changes take final effect.
