Codiumate:Chat: Focus behavior now more intuitive!
Use Codiumate:Chat faster and more intuitively: Focus is now your currently open file by default!
When Codiumate:Chat is opened, it will automatically Focus on the file currently opened in your IDE.
Automatic Secondary Focus: Your Secondary Focus will automatically set as either:
- Selected Lines: If you've highlighted specific lines in the file, these will be set as your Secondary Focus.
- No Selected Lines: If no lines were selected, Codiumate will focus on the first component (like a function or class) within the file.
- No Component Found: If no component is identified, Codiumate will focus on the entire file when possible.
- Fallback Option: If none of the above criteria are met, Codiumate will prompt you to manually select lines to focus on.
Focus Lock mechanism: As you navigate through different files in your IDE, Codiumate automatically updates its focus to match the current file - unless you've already started a conversation.
This keeps Codiumate in sync with your workflow until you're ready to lock in your focus for a specific conversation.
Codebase Selection: For Enterprise RAG users, you can now turn RAG usage on or off!
If you don't want to use your entire codebase as context and look for something more specific, simply turn RAG off from the context selection menu.
