void Add support for ctrl+k

When the user presses ctrl+k, an input box should appear inline with the code that they were selecting. This is somewhat difficult to do because the vscode extension API alone doesn't support it - it requires creating a new component in the IDE.

We think we can modify vscode's built-in "codelens" or "zone widget" components to build the input box to ctrl+K, but we are open to alternatives like taking code from the "diffEditor".

Do everything Cursor does but OSS?

Guess you guys are on the right track

We don’t plan on just copying Cursor :)

Inline edits are a pretty core feature that most AI extensions / editors support

This Feature is available on VSCode Insider Version, called 'editorInsets', you can test it by an extension which has add "enabledApiProposals": ["editorInsets"] to package.json，but the feature is not completed as no 'setHeight' is provided.

Here is a issue lasted 5 years long.... https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/85682

Ctrl+K still hasn't been merged into the main branch.

For reference, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/66418 and https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/85682. We're going with editorInsets, the modern version of these. #119 has a Hello World editor inset.

I don't think you can actually use it though right, they specifically mentioned that you can't use it in production. "/**

This is true if you're building an extension. We're not just building an extension, we're building a full IDE.

The basic layout for Ctrl+K is now on main. It'll be implemented soon!

@andrewpareles is it possible to change those keybindings?

Cmd+K is a standard shortcut for clearing the terminal window (it is also default in VS Code), but in Void when I press it opens the inline completion in the current tab instead.

Yes, you can change them in Void Settings > Keyboard Settings! Just find the Cmd+K setting and change it to whatever you'd like.

Thank you! I actually overlooked the command in the keyboard settings screen. It's called "Void: Quick Edit" and doesn't have any conditions. I set it to !terminalFocus, and now it works as expected. 👍
