Use AI in editor

Generate code in editor using prompts

   Alternatively, right-click anywhere in the editor to open the context menu, select AI Actions and then Generate Code.

2. In the input field, write your prompt and press ⏎.

3. If you want to improve the generated code, click Modify Prompt, add new requirements, and press ⏎.

   AI Assistant will regenerate the code while taking into account the new specifications.

4. Click Accept to insert the generated fragment.

   If you want to revert some of the suggested changes, in the gutter, click Revert.

Work with cloud completion in the editor

1. The suggestions are shown in the editor as you type.

   You can also trigger the code completion by pressing ⌘ ⇧ ;.

2. To apply the suggested code, press ⇥.

   Acceptance of code autocompletion by pressing ⇥ occurs as follows:

   • If there is no basic autocompletion popup, pressing ⇥ will accept the entire suggested gray string.

   • If both the basic JetBrains Fleet autocompletion popup and the gray completion string are present, pressing ⇥ once will accept the first word, and pressing ⇥ again will accept the entire string.

   To reject the suggestion, press Esc. Alternatively, just continue to write your own code or change the caret position either with the arrow keys or by a mouse click.

Change the cloud completion shortcut

You can change the default cloud completion shortcut that you use to accept suggestions.

1. Hover over the suggestion.

2. In the popup that appears, click and select the key that you want to use for accepting suggestions.

   To assign your own shortcut, select Custom.

You can also change any code completion shortcuts in the Settings | Keymap anytime.
