Use Code Suggestions
Prerequisites:
- You must have configured Code Suggestions in a supported IDE editor extension.
- Code Suggestions must be enabled for the top-level group.
To use Code Suggestions:
- Author your code. As you type, suggestions are displayed. Code Suggestions provide code snippets or complete the current line, depending on the cursor position.
- Describe the requirements in natural language. Be concise and specific. Code Suggestions generates functions and code snippets as appropriate.
- To accept a suggestion, press Tab.
- To ignore a suggestion, keep typing as you usually would.
- To explicitly reject a suggestion, press Esc.
Things to remember:
- AI is non-deterministic, so you may not get the same suggestion every time with the same input.
- Just like product requirements, writing clear, descriptive, and specific tasks results in quality generated code.
Disable Code Suggestions
Individual users can disable Code Suggestions by disabling the feature in their installed IDE editor extension.
