I just use PyCharm and Copilot plugin. Works like a charm.

Yeah PyCharm and VSCode are definitely great options (though PyCharm is paid and VSCode AI extensions aren't notebook tailored). If you ever get a chance, I'd love to get your feedback on Pretzel - I think Codestral is a better and faster inline completion model than GH Copilot's GPT4 class model plus I think we might do context-relevant questions better :)

I'll give it a crack over the holiday. My primary mechanism is that I talk inline to the program.

    import pandas as pd

    # read a csv in with a pipe delimiter
    pd.read... # AI fills this in

I saw your demo and I get the "Enter AI mode" thing but I like this flow, esp since I use ideavim. Perhaps the only improvement would be if I had another mode in the editor for AI that was keyboard accessible.

Interesting! We have a inline autocomplete as well (that's the one that uses Codestral). So in your example, you'd see a autocompletion prompt after you type pd.read and hitting tab will autocomplete the line (or many lines if there's enough context to generate that much text).

The AI mode/box with Cmd + K is for more complex prompts, multi-line code chunks and such. We've tried to make everything completely keyboard accessible btw, including the sidebar so that you never have to use the mouse :)
