• Code completion: Trained on a vast amount of high-quality open-source code, it provides real-time code completion suggestions based on the context of your current file and other relevant files, boosting your coding efficiency.
• Programming agent: With capabilities for autonomous decision-making, environmental awareness, and tool use, it can complete end-to-end coding tasks based on your requests by using tools like project search, file editing, and the terminal.
• Multi-file edits: It can modify code across multiple files. When you need to make precise changes, it can perform multi-file edits based on your requirements and the current project environment, letting you iterate multiple times to complete tasks efficiently and with full control.
• AI Chat: It has extensive development knowledge, real-time awareness of your project, and a Memory of your past programming work. When you encounter problems or need ideas while coding, it is always ready to answer your questions, solve code issues, and debug errors.
• Inline chat: While you are coding in the editor, you can use natural language to modify code or ask questions within a single file. It can answer your questions and modify code on the fly based on the current file's context.
• Next Edit Suggestion (NES): Based on the full context of your code, recent modifications, and your cursor's position, it can dynamically predict code changes. Just press Tab to apply the suggestion and complete your edit efficiently.

Qoder CN IDE also includes the following features:

• Rich context: Add a wide range of context to conversations, such as code files, directories, images, Git commits, and knowledge bases. Combine this context with natural language to help it accurately understand your requests.
• Tool use: In agent mode, it can use a variety of programming tools like code search, file editing, and the terminal to help you complete complex coding tasks. Configure MCP tools for it to use, expanding the capabilities of your AI coding assistant.
• Memory capability: As we talk, I learn about your coding habits, projects, and conversation topics. I automatically organize this information into a memory. This memory helps me interact with you better and improves my understanding of you.
• AI Rules: Set personalized rule prompts to make the code and answers it generates in AI Chat and file editing more precise and aligned with your personal preferences or project style.
