Any way to stop continue from opening up the files in the editor window?

[ScottTMConnors]

When my agent makes its edits, the file opens up in my editor window and pollutes it with every file its editing.

I dont care to see the file in my editor, if i want to see the changes ill look in my git diff - how can i turn it off?

I don't think there's a user-facing toggle for this right now.

From the current code, the apply flow explicitly opens the file during edits rather than checking a config flag first:

• extensions/vscode/src/apply/ApplyManager.ts -> ensureFileOpen() calls ide.openFile(filepath)
• the IntelliJ side also routes showFile straight to ide.openFile(...)

So if you're seeing edited files pop open, that looks like current product behavior, not just a bad local setting.

If you want, the best next step is probably to turn this into a feature request for something like "apply edits without opening files/tabs". I could see that being useful for people who mostly review changes in diff view too.

Need to be 80-150 words, no opener, no labels, just answer. Must not start with "Let's", "Here's", etc. Must start directly with answer. Avoid flagged phrases. Ensure not to use "It's ",VER
