Benefits of Editor Integration
Using the Command function directly within the editor is much more efficient than switching to a browser for ChatGPT because it eliminates the need for manual copy-pasting.
Autocomplete Tips for Frameworks
Codeium is highly effective at recognizing repetitive code patterns. For example, if you add a new route in Flask, the AI will suggest a complete code structure based on your previous functions.
Step by Step
Generating Code Using Codeium Command
- Open your code editor (such as VS Code or JetBrains) where the Codeium extension is installed.
- Press the `Command + I` (for Mac) or `Ctrl + I` (for Windows) keyboard shortcut.
- Wait for the Codeium Command input interface to appear above the line of code.
- Type your command or code description in natural language.
- Press `Enter` to allow the AI to generate code based on those instructions.
- Review the generated code directly in the editor; it will appear in a preview format.
- Click the 'Accept' button to insert the code into your file, or 'Reject' if you do not want to use it.
Using the Smart Autocomplete Feature
- Start typing your code manually (e.g., defining a route in the Flask framework).
- Look for the gray code suggestions (ghost text) that appear automatically as you type.
- Press the `Tab` key on your keyboard to accept the code suggestion.
- Continue typing to see subsequent code suggestions relevant to your existing logic.
