Inline Chat

Inline Chat lets you describe a code change directly inside the editor without opening the side chat panel. Press Ctrl+I (Cmd+I on macOS) and an input field appears right at your cursor position.

Using Inline Chat

1. Open a file in the editor.

2. Press Ctrl+I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+I (macOS) to open the inline chat input field.

   The input field appears near the cursor position in the editor.

3. Type your request in natural language. Examples:

   • Refactor this code to use async/await
   • Explain this code
   • Add error handling

4. Inline Chat includes the context of the active file — the surrounding code (±200 lines from the cursor), file path, programming language, and current cursor position. If you have a selection, it is used as the primary context for the request.

5. The agent’s response appears in the widget. Accept or reject the suggested changes.

Cancelling a request

To cancel the current request press Escape, or run the kodik.cancelInlineChat command from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P).

Notes

• Inline Chat requires an active editor — open a file before invoking it.
• Context is limited to the active file (surrounding code ±200 lines). For multi-file work use the main chat panel.
• Inline Chat requests are processed by the Kodik server — the model and parameters are chosen automatically server-side.
