Quick Ask (Inline Chat)¶
Sometimes you need a quick answer or a small change without switching context. Inline chat lets you ask questions or request code modifications right in your editor — with diff preview so you can accept or reject changes before they're applied.
Ask questions about code or request changes without leaving your editor.
Usage¶
- Press
Ctrl+I(Cmd+Ion Mac) to open the quick input - Ask a question or request a change
- For changes: review the diff preview and Accept/Reject
Capabilities¶
- Context-aware — uses selected code or cursor context
- Ask questions — "What does this function do?" or "Is this thread-safe?"
- Request changes — "Add error handling" or "Convert to async/await"
- Diff preview — review proposed changes before accepting
