How to use it

Edit is a convenient way to make quick changes to specific code and files. Select code, describe your code changes, and a diff will be streamed inline to your file which you can accept or reject. Edit is recommended for small, targeted changes, such as
  • Writing comments
  • Generating unit tests
  • Refactoring functions or methods

​
Highlight code and activate

Highlight the block of code you would like to modify and press Cmd+I (Mac) or Ctrl+I (Windows/Linux) to activate Edit mode. You can also press Cmd/Ctrl+I with no code highlighted, which will default to inserting code at the current cursor location.

​
Describe code changes

Describe the changes you would like the model to make to your highlighted code. For edits, a good prompt should be relatively short and concise. For longer, more complex tasks, we recommend using Chat.

​
Accept or reject changes

Proposed changes appear as inline diffs within your highlighted text. You can navigate through each proposed change, accepting or rejecting them using Cmd+Opt+Y (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+Y (Windows/Linux) to accept, or Cmd+Opt+N (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+N (Windows/Linux) to reject. You can also accept or reject all changes at once using Cmd+Shift+Enter (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+Enter (Windows/Linux) to accept, or Cmd+Shift+Delete (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+Backspace (Windows/Linux) to reject. If you want to request a new suggestion for the same highlighted code section, you can use Cmd+I (Mac) or Ctrl+I (Windows/Linux) to re-prompt the model.

In Jetbrains, Edit is implemented as an inline popup. See the header GIF example.
