Question 1

How does Kilo Code autocomplete work?

Accepted Answer

Kilo Code's autocomplete analyzes your code context and provides inline completions as you type. It uses Codestral by Mistral AI, a model specifically optimized for Fill-in-the-Middle (FIM) code completions, delivering fast and accurate suggestions.

Question 2

Can I choose a different model for autocomplete?

Accepted Answer

Currently, autocomplete is designed to work specifically with Codestral, which is optimized for code completions. Kilo Code automatically selects the best available provider from your configured options. Support for additional models may be added in future releases.

Question 3

What are the different ways to trigger autocomplete?

Accepted Answer

You can use auto-trigger (suggestions appear automatically after a configurable delay, default 3 seconds), manual trigger with Cmd+L (Mac) or Ctrl+L (Windows/Linux), or enable chat autocomplete for suggestions in the chat input. The keyboard shortcut is customizable in VS Code settings.

Question 4

Is autocomplete free to use?

Accepted Answer

Kilo Code's autocomplete uses the same pay-as-you-go pricing as the rest of the extension. You can use it with your own API keys or through Kilo Code's hosted providers. There are no additional charges specifically for autocomplete — you only pay for the tokens used.
