Inline chat allows developers to chat in the code editing area. Developers can ask questions, or modify code within a single file through natural language conversations.

To experience the inline chat feature, update to version 2.5.3 in VS Code, 2.5.2 or above in JetBrains IDEs.

Open the inline chat window

After installing in your IDE, you can open the inline chat window in two ways:

Use the keyboard shortcut ⌘ ⇧ I (Ctrl Shift I).
In JetBrains IDEs only: Select code snippet in a file, and then click the icon in front of the code to open the inline chat window.

Open the inline chat window	`⌘` `⇧` `I`(For JetBrains IDEs and Visual Studio Code) `⌘` `I`(For Qoder CN IDE）	`Ctl` `Shift` `I`(For JetBrains IDEs and Visual Studio Code) `Ctl` `I`(For Qoder CN IDE）

Select a chat mode

After opening the inline chat window and entering your request, you can interact with in two modes:
