Suggestion: add ability to edit hunk

[OliverJAsh]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Lazygit makes it really easy to select specific lines to be staged, however sometimes I need more flexibility.

For example, I have these unstaged changes:

 export const demo = Demo.Collection.fromComponent(UserStatsSubRoute)({
-  name: 'UserStats',
-  children: [StatsGraphDemo, MilestonesDemos],
+  name: displayName,
+  children: [StatsGraphDemo, UsesDemo, MilestonesDemos],
 });

I only want to add the change to name, not to children.

If I select the name line addition/deletion, I end up with this staged diff:

 export const demo = Demo.Collection.fromComponent(UserStatsSubRoute)({
-  name: 'UserStats',
   children: [StatsGraphDemo, MilestonesDemos],
+  name: displayName,
 });

What I wanted:

 export const demo = Demo.Collection.fromComponent(UserStatsSubRoute)({
-  name: 'UserStats',
+  name: displayName,
   children: [StatsGraphDemo, MilestonesDemos],
 });

Describe the solution you'd like
The ability to "edit hunk" similar to what is available when you run git add --interactive and use the e command.

This would make it easy for me to stage the changes because I would be able to delete and re-order the order of the addition/deletions.

Any updates on this? It's a must have feature in my opinion

I also think that it's a must have feature.

Another example given by git add -i and git add -p with the e command.
Imagine we have this snippet:

- def my_func(a):
-       print("something")
+ def my_func(a, b, c):
+      print("another thing")

  def main():
-       my_func(0)
+       my_func(0, 1, 2)

But we only want to stage this:

- def my_func(a):
+ def my_func(a, b):
        print("something")

  def main():
-       my_func(0)
+       my_func(0, 1)

It's currently impossible with lazygit, so we need to:

1. Open the file
2. Edit the file by removing the chars we don't want to stage
3. Stage individual hunks/lines using lazygit
4. Commit
5. Edit the file to add back the chars that we deleted

(or use git add -i or git add -p but the e command is a huge mess, and that's why we're using lazygit in the first place)

Today I've known about lazygit, but I use git add --patch -interactive VERY often and the absence of this feature stops me using lazygit :(
