Commands & Shortcuts Overview
PostQode integrates directly into VS Code's interface, letting you access AI assistance without disrupting your workflow. These integrations appear as commands in context menus, keyboard shortcuts, and quick fixes throughout the editor.
What are Editor Integrations?
Editor integrations are commands and shortcuts that let you use PostQode right where you're working. Instead of switching to the PostQode panel first, you can select code, right-click, and immediately send it to PostQode for help.
These integrations appear in different places throughout VS Code:
- Editor Context Menu (Right-Click): "Add to PostQode"
- Terminal Context Menu: "Add to PostQode"
- Source Control View: "Generate Commit Message"
- Keyboard Shortcuts: Built-in hotkeys for common operations
- Lightbulb Quick Fix Menu: "Fix with PostQode", "Explain with PostQode", "Improve with PostQode"
Available Editor Integrations
- Code Commands: Right-click on code to add it to PostQode, or use the lightbulb menu to fix errors, explain code, or improve it. PostQode sees the complete code context, including imports and surrounding functions.
- Terminal Integration: Add terminal output to PostQode with a right-click or use
@terminalmentions. Perfect for debugging build errors, test failures, or runtime issues. - Git Integration: Generate commit messages, explain diffs, or analyze changes with PostQode's Git integration.
- Keyboard Shortcuts: Speed up your workflow with keyboard shortcuts for common PostQode actions.
How They Work
When you trigger any of these commands, PostQode:
- Captures the relevant context (selected code, file path, terminal output, or Git diff).
- Opens or focuses the PostQode chat interface.
- Automatically attaches the captured context to your prompt.
- Generates a tailored response or runs the requested tool action.
