AI chat features powered by Copilot

Unique: Embeds chat-based code editing directly into the editor's inline prompt UI (Ctrl+I), preserving cursor context and applying edits in-place with visual diff preview, rather than requiring context-switching to a separate sidebar or web interface

vs others: Faster than sidebar chat for quick refactoring because it eliminates context-switching overhead and maintains editor focus; more interactive than ghost-text suggestions because it accepts natural language instructions and can perform complex multi-line transformations
