Invoke AI-powered code completion
Cloud completion powered by AI Assistant can autocomplete single lines, blocks of code, and even entire functions in real time based on the project context. The generated code is similar to how you would write code, matching your style and naming conventions.
Work with cloud completion in the editor
The suggestions are shown in the editor as you type.
You can also trigger the code completion by pressing ⌘ ⇧ ;.
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.
