Where to find DEVUP AI

  • Panel: DEVUP AI has its own panel in the activity bar, titled DEVUP AI. It is separate from your editor's built-in AI chat and doesn't replace it.
  • Title bar: the DEVUP AI button in the editor's title bar also opens the chat. If you don't use it, hide it in Settings.
  • Shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+D brings the code you selected into the chat; with no selection, it opens the message box.
