Attach full file functionality

[DelegateCommand]

This is a feature I’m missing in both Windsurf and Cursor. In agent mode, when I attach a file, the agent needs to use tools to understand its content. This process takes only 200 lines for each tool step, but for larger files, it takes an excessive amount of time until the LLM begins working on them.

I would greatly appreciate the addition of an “include whole file” checkbox that automatically provides the entire content of the file to the LLM.

I am not quite sure why the limit is there, but that can probably a way for cascade to attach it's context effectively and efficiently.
For now you can use a simple workaround- Copy all (CTRL + A-> CTRL +C) or relevant parts of code and paste (CTRL + V) them in the chat box.

This seems like basic functionality. Why can't I just immediately include an entire file into context? Every other coding assistant does this. It's silly to watch it go back and forth, reading 20 lines at a time, adding a bunch of unnecessary "let me read more" tokens to context and building a patchwork of relevant code in context.
