Generate and edit at the cursor
Use Ctrl+K on Windows/Linux or Cmd+K on macOS to open inline editing at the cursor or for a selected block of code.
Generate at the cursor
Section titled “Generate at the cursor”Place the cursor where you want new code, open inline editing, and describe the result:
Add validation that rejects empty task titles.Rewrite a selection
Section titled “Rewrite a selection”Select code before opening inline editing. WhoseDev defaults to an edit action and lets you refine the selected code without losing the surrounding file context.
Use the action picker to choose:
- Generate for code at the cursor.
- Edit to rewrite a selection.
- Explain or Quick Question to understand code without applying an edit.
- Send to Chat to continue a larger task in the chat panel.
Continue in Agent
Section titled “Continue in Agent”When inline editing is not enough — multi-file refactors, test runs, or terminal verification — run WhoseDev: Continue Inline Edit in Agent (whosedev.inlineEdit.continueInAgent) to hand the task to the chat agent with the inline context preserved.
Local fallback settings
Section titled “Local fallback settings”Inline edit can fall back to a qualified local Ollama model when cloud routes fail:
| Setting | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
whosedev.com.inlineEdit.localFallbackEnabled |
on | Use local Ollama as final fallback for Generate/Edit when cloud fails or times out |
whosedev.com.inlineEdit.allowSlowLocal |
off | Allow CPU-slow local models; when off, slow models are skipped unless no cloud model is available |
See Local AI and Offline Models for Ollama setup and qualification.
Review the result
Section titled “Review the result”Read every suggested change before you keep it. If the result does not match your intent, undo it and make the request more specific, including constraints such as language version, error behavior, test coverage, or files that must not change.
