Next edit suggestions (NES) help you get started with AI-assisted coding by offering intelligent, context-aware edits right at your cursor. With Qoder NES, you can:
  • Edit multiple lines at once near your cursor.
  • Get suggestions based on recent changes and previously accepted edits.
  • Navigate seamlessly within files to the next suggestions.

​
How it works

Qoder automatically displays suggestions either inline or side by side, depending on the width of the changed code and NES prompt:
  • If the combined width exceeds your editor’s width, suggestions appear inline.
  • Otherwise, they are shown side-by-side for easier comparison.
To accept or reject a suggestion:
  • Hover over Accept/Reject, or
  • Press Tabto accept, Esc to reject.
If the next edit is outside your current view:
  • Click Tab to Jump or press Tab to go to the edit location in the same file.
  • For edits in other files, click Tab to Jump or press Tab to navigate to the edit location of the target file.

​
Enable NES

  1. In the upper-right corner of your Qoder IDE, click the user icon or use the keyboard shortcut (⌘ ⇧ , （macOS）orCtrl shift ,(Windows)), and select Qoder Settings.
  2. In the panel that appears, click Completion.
  3. Turn on NES (Next Edit Suggestion).

​
Display behavior

NES supports intelligent editing for deletions, modifications, and additions, with visual diffs tailored to the type of change.

​
Scenarios

Here are some common scenarios that demonstrate how Qoder NES can improve your coding efficiency:
  • Rename: Automatically suggests consistent variable or function names based on context.
  • Refactor: Proposes code improvements and refactoring opportunities within functions.
  • Add:
    • Variables: When you declare a new variable, NES predicts how it will be used later in the code and suggests follow-up edits.
    • Fields: When you annotate a field, it suggests applying the same or related annotations to other fields.
    • Parameters: When you add parameters to a function, it suggests the code snippets where the invoked function is modified.
    • Comments: Type /  to trigger a comment suggestion. Press Ctrl   ↓ to accept the inline comment.
