Action Commands

These are quick ways you can ask for help on any text-based snippet you've highlighted. You can highlight a block of code and ask CodeVista a question:

Type @selected_code in the prompt to include the currently selected code in your editor.

For example:
Write unit tests for this module @selected_code

Type @current_file in the prompt to include the entire content of the current file in your editor.
For example:
‍Help me add docstrings to all functions in @current_file

If you've uploaded files using Code Context feature, you can reference them by typing @file:fileName, @function:functionName, or @class:className.

For example:
Explain the purpose of @function:calculateTotal.
‍
Type @workspace and ask questions about the entire repository synchronized via Code Context feature. Currently, Q&A in workspace only supports following programming languages: Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java, and C#.

Workspace questions and answers are saved in Task Status component. User can also reuse previously asked workspace-related questions in Task Status:

CodeVista provides a set of predefined actions that allow you to perform common coding tasks or trigger specific functionalities with a single command.

To access these predefined actions, type the forward-slash character ( / ) in the prompt input box This will display a list of available predefined actions that you can use.

Tips:
You can chain a Code Target with a Predefined Action to quickly perform an action on a code snippet.

For example: /fix This code is throwing an error: [paste error and code here]

Or you can easily trigger action Explain by clicking on quick action button on top of functions in current coding file:
