## Description This PR introduces significant improvements to the Obsidian Khoj plugin's chat interface and editing capabilities, enhancing the overall user experience and content management functionality. ## Features ### 🔍 Enhanced Communication Mode I've implemented radio buttons below the chat window for easier communication mode selection. The modes are now displayed as emojis in the conversation for a cleaner interface, replacing the previous text-based system (e.g., /default, /research). I've also documented the search mode functionality in the help command. #### Screenshots - Radio buttons for mode selection - Emoji display in conversations  ### 💬 Revamped Message Interaction I've redesigned the message buttons with improved spacing and color coding for better visual differentiation. The new edit button allows quick message modifications - clicking it removes the conversation up to that point and copies the message to the input field for easy editing or retrying questions. #### Screenshots - New message styling and color scheme  - Edit button functionality  ### 🤖 Advanced Agent Selection System I've added a new chat creation button with agent selection capability. Users can now choose from their available agents when starting a new chat. While agents can't be switched mid-conversation to maintain context, users can easily start fresh conversations with different agents. #### Screenshots - Agent selection dropdown  ### 👁️ Real-Time Context Awareness I've added a button that gives Khoj access to read Obsidian opened tabs. This allows Khoj to read open notes and track changes in real-time, maintaining a history of previous versions to provide more contextual assistance. #### Screenshots - Window access toggle  ### ✏️ Smart Document Editing Inspired by Cursor IDE's intelligent editing and ChatGPT's Canvas functionality, I've implemented a first version of a content creation system we've been discussing. Using a JSON-based modification system, Khoj can now make precise changes to specific parts of files, with changes previewed in yellow highlighting before application. Modification code blocks are neatly organized in collapsible sections with clear action summaries. While this is just a first step, it's working remarkably well and I have several ideas for expanding this functionality to make Khoj an even more powerful content creation assistant. #### Screenshots - JSON modification preview - Change highlighting system - Collapsible code blocks - Accept/cancel controls  --------- Co-authored-by: Debanjum <debanjum@gmail.com>
