SignalPilot makes it easy to improve code directly inside cells with AI-powered editing tools. These tools are designed for fast, localized changes without needing to open a full chat or run a full plan.

Inline Edit

• How it works: Select a cell, click Inline Edit, and describe your change.

• Scope: Updates only the selected cell.

• Best for: Small refactors, quick fixes, renaming variables, adding comments, or adjusting logic.

• Example: “Vectorize this loop into a list comprehension.”

Tab Autocomplete

• How it works: When a cell is focused and you pause typing for ~1 second, SignalPilot suggests completions.

• Scope: Suggests code continuations inline as you type.

• Best for: Reducing boilerplate, remembering syntax, and filling in multi-line code patterns.

• Example: Typing df.gr → AI suggests df.groupby("region").sum().

When to Use Each

• Inline Edit – after code is already written, to modify or improve it.

• Tab Autocomplete – while typing, to speed up code writing with context-aware suggestions.

Together, these features let you stay in flow: autocomplete while you type, then refine with inline edits as needed.

FAQ

Q: Does Tab Autocomplete overwrite my code?
Yes. Suggestions appear inline, and you choose whether to accept them.

Q: Can Inline Edit affect multiple cells?
No. Inline Edit is strictly limited to one cell at a time.

Q: Do both features use notebook context?
Yes. Both Inline Edit and Autocomplete are context-aware, using variable names, imports, and recent code.

Q: Can I disable one without disabling the other?
Yes. Tab Autocomplete can be toggled in Settings, while Inline Edit is optional and only applies when you invoke it.
