Plan mode is awesome, but sometimes there's like a small typo in there. It'd be great to just be able to edit the plan directly instead of typing and waiting to update the entire plan.
Once the plan is created, it'd be great if there's a way to just edit the plans directly. Maybe something like an edit button, then even clicking save so that the context gets updated in the background.

I want to support this. That's a critical feature that's missing in Plan Mode. The purpose of Plan Mode is obviously to have something you can review before it's implemented — and one can expect that there are things to correct (otherwise one would not use Plan Mode). Claude Code CLI (and also GUIs) already has such a feature, as shown in the following screenshot. It's possible to open the plan in the default editor (VS Code in that case) and make changes. After that I usually tell Claude to update the plan based on my comments. One can also start implementation directly and it still considers the annotations. Actually this missing functionality keeps me from using Codex for now.
@johnjjung I think the ticket title should mention "Plan Mode Review feature".
Here's how it looks like in the Claude Code CLI:

This feature hasn't received enough upvotes, so closing.
