Using chat
Augment Chat enables you to work with your codebase using natural language. Ask Chat to explain your codebase, help you get started with debugging an issue, or writing entire functions and tests. See Using Chat for more details.
Using Next Edit
Augment Next Edit keeps you moving through your tasks by guiding you step-by-step through complex or repetitive changes. Jump to the next suggestion–in the same file or across your codebase–by pressing Cmd/Ctrl ;. See Using Next Edit for more details.
Using instructions
Start using an Instruction by hitting Cmd/Ctrl I and quickly write tests, refactor code, or craft any prompt in natural language to transform your code. See Using Instructions for more details.
Using completions
Augment provides inline code suggestions as you type. To accept the full suggestions, press Tab, or accept the suggestion one word at a time with Cmd/Ctrl →. See Using Completions for more details.
