Inline edit — Quick start
Inline edit rewrites a code selection right inside your file, without opening the chat panel — handy for a rename, a fix or a small local rewrite.
Usage
Select the code to change
Select the lines you care about in your editor. You can also start an edit with no selection: Nexora then uses the current line as its starting point.
Open inline edit
With the selection active, press:
An input field appears right in the editor, above the selected code.
Describe the change
Type the instruction in plain language — “extract this logic into a function”, “add error handling”, “rename this variable to userCount” — then confirm with Enter.
Accept or reject the result
The proposed code appears inline in the editor, highlighted (additions in green, removals in red). Use the buttons that appear to accept or reject — block by block when several changes are proposed, or all at once.
Inline edit or Agent mode?
Inline edit stays within one file and one exchange — ideal for a quick, targeted change. For a task that spans several files, runs commands, or needs to explore the project, use Agent mode instead.
