Customize AI Chat

You can customize how AI Chat behaves and looks.

Open a chat in the editor

By default, chats are open in the AI Chat tool window, but you can also open a chat as an editor tab, which gives the conversation more space and lets you keep several chats open next to your code. To do this, click the Show Chats in Editor Tabs button.

As a result, the chat is opened in the editor tab, and the AI Chat tool window starts to display the chat history instead.
