Usage

Go to Window → Show View → Other... → AI Assistant → AI Assistant and click Open.

You should now see a view that looks like this:

NOTE: If the top part of the view is blank/grey then see below for how to fix this.

Now click the "Settings" button.

If the Ollama API is set up correctly then should see something like this:

Now right click some source code and you should see a context menu like this:

NOTE: The "selection" the context menu uses will be the whole text of the current editor window if nothing is selected.

NOTE: "Fix Warnings" and "Fix Errors" will only appear if you have a file selected with compiler warnings or errors in it.

and you should see something like this when the AI Assistant runs:

You can also paste in code or documentation using the clipboard by right clicking the main view like this:

View Navigation

• Holding the Shift key whilst srolling will scroll through messages.
• Holding the Control key whilst srolling will scroll to the top or bottom.

Input Area

• Pressing Enter will send the current user messaage to the AI Assistant.
• Pressing Shift+Enter will insert a newline into a message instead of sending it.
• Pressing Control+Enter will add a new user message, but delay sending to the AI Assistant.
• The yellow up/down arrows can be used to retrieve previously sent user messages.

Code Block Buttons

• Copy Code: Copies the code block to the clipbpard.
• Replace Selection: Copies the code block over the top of the curremt editor selection.
• Review Changes: Opens a compare editor that lets you selectively replace the curremt editor selection.
• Apply Patch: Opens the apply patch wizard (NOTE: Only shows if the code block is marked as diff language).

NOTE: The "selection" the buttons use will be the whole text of the current editor window if nothing is selected.

NOTE: Make sure to set "Ignore white space" in Compare/Patch settings in Eclipse or (any) compare editor won't work well.

Custom Prompt Templates

• The templates use the StringTemplate library.
• The following context variables can be used: <taskname>, <usertext>, <filename>, <language>, <tag>, <warnings>, <errors>, <document>, <clipboard>, <selection>, <lines> and <documentation> (see the sourcecode of the class Context for what each one does).
• The special <<switch-roles>> tag can be used for delaying responses, forcing responses, multi-shot learning, etc.
