Using the Action Palette

The Action Palette is a single menu for starting chats, switching between them and running prompts from your prompt library. To open it:

:CodeCompanionActions

Opened from a chat buffer, it lists that chat's keymaps and slash commands instead.

Actions

The palette starts with these actions:

Action	Description
Chat	Open a new chat buffer
Open chats ...	Move to any open chat buffer
Saved sessions ...	Restore a chat saved to disk
Chat with rules ...	Open a chat buffer with a rule group loaded

To hide them, set display.action_palette.opts.show_preset_actions = false.

Built-in Prompts

Below the actions are the prompts that ship with CodeCompanion:

Prompt	Alias	Description
Commit message	commit	Generate a commit message
Explain code	explain	Explain how code in a buffer works
Explain LSP diagnostics	lsp	Explain the LSP diagnostics for the selected code
Fix code	fix	Fix the selected code
Help with CodeCompanion	help	Answer a question from CodeCompanion's documentation
Inline prompt		Prompt the LLM from inside a Neovim buffer
Unit tests	tests	Generate unit tests for the selected code
Code workflow		Run the built-in workflow

Prompts with an alias can also be run from the command line:

:CodeCompanion /explain

To hide the built-in prompts, set display.action_palette.opts.show_preset_prompts = false.

Refreshing

The palette caches its items. After editing your prompt library, reload them with:
