Inline Assistant
Using the Inline Assistant
You can use ctrl-enter
to open the Inline Assistant nearly anywhere you can enter text: editors, the agent panel, the prompt library, channel notes, and even within the terminal panel.
The Inline Assistant allows you to send the current selection (or the current line) to a language model and modify the selection with the language model's response.
You can use ctrl-enter
to open the inline assistant nearly anywhere you can write text: editors, the Agent Panel, the Rules Library, channel notes, and even within the terminal panel.
You can also perform multiple generation requests in parallel by pressing ctrl-enter
with multiple cursors, or by pressing ctrl-enter
with a selection that spans multiple excerpts in a multibuffer.
Context
You can give the Inline Assistant context the same way you can in the agent panel, allowing you to provide additional instructions or rules for code transformations with @-mentions.
A useful pattern here is to create a thread in the Agent Panel, and then use the @thread
command in the Inline Assistant to include the thread as context for the Inline Assistant transformation.
Prefilling Prompts
To create a custom keybinding that prefills a prompt, you can add the following format in your keymap:
[
{
"context": "Editor && mode == full",
"bindings": {
"ctrl-shift-enter": [
"assistant::InlineAssist",
{ "prompt": "Build a snake game" }
]
}
}
]
