Transform your selected code with AI assistance by highlighting a code range and pressing Option/Alt + X. This feature allows you to describe the changes you want to make, and the AI will generate the modified code for you.

​
Common Use Cases

  • Refactor functions: “Convert this to use async/await”
  • Add error handling: “Add try-catch blocks to this code”
  • Change styling: “Convert this to use Tailwind classes”
  • Optimize code: “Make this code more efficient”
  • Add documentation: “Add JSDoc comments to this function”

Key Differences from Code Completions

  • Inline Code Edits: Triggered when you have a line range highlighted
  • Code Completions: Triggered when no line range is highlighted

Both features use the same Option/Alt + X shortcut, but behave differently based on your current selection.
