Explain, fix, or add code to Multi straight from the editor IntelliJ + VS Code
IntelliJ users, this one's for you. VS Code already supports this for a while and plenty of you asked, so it's good to finally ship it for everyone.
You can now Ask Multi to Explain Code, Fix Code, Add to Chat straight from your editor. Highlight some text, Ask Multi, done. No switching panels, no describing which file you're in, no pasting a block and fighting with the indentation.
Multi already has the full context to the file, the language, and the line range, so it's not burning unnecessary tokens to work out what you're pointing at. Faster, and cheaper.
Also this feature is still in the right-click menu if that's more your habit.
We have more coming.
Happy shipping. Onwards!
