JetBrains Air Help

Explore code

Even when you develop code with agents, you still need to understand code, inspect changes, verify assumptions, and quickly get to the exact place you want to review or edit.

These are the core navigation features of the Air Teams editor: browsing and managing files, jumping to files, actions, and tools, and searching text across the project. The editor highlights syntax but doesn't analyze code, so there's no navigation to definitions, usages, or implementations. For that, check out the task branch in your IDE.

Browse files and folders

Use the Files tool to browse the project in the task's cloud environment. Expand folders to navigate through the repository, and click a file to open it in an editor tab. In a task on several repositories, the tree has a root for each one.

Open the Files tool

  • On the tool bar on the right, click Files.

  • Press Ctrl+T and select Files.

Manage files from the tree

  1. In the Files tool, right-click a file or folder.

  2. Select an action:

    • New File or New Folder – create an item next to the selected one.

    • Add to Task – attach the file or folder to the task as context.

    • Open in Split – open the file next to the current editor tab.

    • Find in Files – search inside the selected folder. See Search and replace.

    • Rename, Delete, Cut, Copy, Paste, Copy Path, or Copy Relative Path.

The same menu holds a Git submenu for the selected item, with file history, reverting changes, and comparing the file with a branch or commit. Files you create, rename, or delete are edits of your own – see Edits you make yourself.

Edit a file

  1. Open the file from the Files tool or with Go to All. Each file opens in its own editor tab.

  2. Make your changes and press Ctrl+S (⌘ S on macOS) to save them.

  3. To keep your edits apart from the agent's, commit them from the Changes tool before you send the next prompt – see Commit and push changes.

Go to All

Use Go to All to quickly navigate through the project and the editor. If you used IntelliJ-based IDEs before, this workflow is similar to Search Everywhere: one entry point for files, actions, tools, and text search.

Use Go to All

  1. Open Go to All in one of the following ways:

    • Press Ctrl+K or Shift Shift.

    • Click the search icon at the bottom of the tool bar.

  2. In the Goto tab, start typing to search for a file by name.

    Go to All on the Goto tab with the Search files field and the Files filter
  3. Press Enter to open the selected file in an editor tab.

Find and run actions

  1. Open the Actions tab in one of the following ways:

    • Press Ctrl+Shift+K.

    • Open Go to All and switch to Actions.

  2. Type the action name, for example, Go to Line, New Terminal, or Git Pull.

    The list shows each action's shortcut, and actions that don't apply where the focus is are dimmed.

    The Actions tab of Go to All with f typed, listing Find in Files, File History, Focus actions, Git Fetch, Go to File, Go to Recent File, New File, and Replace in Files with their shortcuts
  3. Select the action and press Enter to run it.

Open tools

  1. Open the Tools tab in one of the following ways:

    • Press Ctrl+T.

    • Open Go to All and switch to Tools.

  2. Type the tool name, for example, Changes or Terminal.

  3. Select the tool and press Enter to open it.

  1. Open the Text Search tab in one of the following ways:

    • Open Go to All and switch to Text Search.

    • Press Ctrl+Shift+F.

    • Run the Find in Files action.

  2. Enter the text you want to find. You can use regular expressions and the search options in the search field.

  3. Optionally, narrow the search with In folder and File mask.

    The Text Search tab of Go to All with the search field, the In folder and File mask fields, and Open in Search Tool
  4. Review the matches and open the result you need.

Text Search is built for jumping to one result. When you need to see every match at once or replace text across files, click Open in Search Tool or use the Search tool directly – see Search and replace.

Without code analysis, you move around by place rather than by symbol:

  • Go to Line (Ctrl+L, ⌘ L on macOS) – jump to a line in the open file.

  • Go to Recent File – return to a file you had open.

  • Back and Forward (Alt+Left and Alt+Right, ⌘ [ and ⌘ ] on macOS) – retrace the places you visited, including the ones you reached from a link in the chat.

Each open file is also in the page address, so you can bookmark a file or share a link to it.
