Next edit suggestions

When you write or edit code, AI Assistant can predict which parts you might want to change or add next and suggest likely edits. This allows you to quickly apply a suggestion and jump to the next place that might need a change, making it easier to update related code throughout the file.

Enable next edit suggestions

To enable the feature:

Go to Settings | Tools | AI Assistant.
In the Features section, select the Enable next edit suggestions setting. Additionally, you can further configure how the edits are suggested:
- Languages – select the programming languages for which AI Assistant should generate suggestions.
  The All Other setting covers uncommon languages and corresponding file types.
- Chain suggestions – enable this setting to automatically request the next edit suggestion once the previous one has been accepted.
- Code Insight actions – enable this setting to allow AI Assistant to suggest edits based on IDE refactoring actions, such as Rename refactoring.
- Whitespace-only suggestions – enable this setting if you want to receive suggestions that change indentation, spacing, and blank lines.
The settings are currently in alpha and may not work as expected.
Click Apply to save changes.

Invoke next edit suggestions

Once the next edit suggestions are enabled:

In the editor, modify an existing line or write new code. AI Assistant will suggest the next edit.
Press Tab to jump to the suggestion to review it, then press Tab again to apply it.
Repeat the previous step to apply other suggestions.
To cancel the suggestion, press Escape.

Application examples

This section provides several examples of what can trigger the next edit suggestions feature.

Simple formatting: In the example below, the code has a formatting issue: no space after commas in parameter lists. Once you fix it in one place, AI Assistant will detect the pattern and suggest fixing all similar cases.
For simple formatting issues, the diff with changes is not shown.
Fixing typos: The example below demonstrates another common case: when you make a typo in your code, AI Assistant suggests replacing the typo with the correct word.
Introducing changes: The main case for this feature is when you introduce changes to your code. AI Assistant suggests the next place that you might want to change and provides the most likely edit.
