From the Editor
Another way to add code snippets as context is to select the code you want to reference, and click on either “Add to Chat” (Ctrl/⌘ Shift L
) or “Add to Edit” (Ctrl/⌘ Shift K
).
These will add the selected code snippet to either the Chat input box or the currently active Cmd K prompt bar.
