Summary

Recent updates to Ghostwriter have enhanced its inline actions, including Explain Code, Generate Code, and Edit Code, to streamline coding sessions. The improvements replace previous popovers with persistent inline widgets that retain information and support familiar keyboard shortcuts, thus preventing disruptions and enhancing usability. AI suggestions are now streamed directly within the editor, significantly reducing response times to less than a second and allowing for real-time, incremental feedback. The integration of Ghostwriter Chat states into a Jotai store synchronizes various AI functionalities across the workspace, making the chat a central hub for AI actions. Additionally, diff views have been introduced to facilitate the review of AI-generated code by displaying differences as ghost text, enabling users to easily compare and decide on accepting modifications. These enhancements aim to make the coding process more efficient, productive, and insightful while seeking continuous feedback for further refinement.
