Set Chat Preferences to customize your Qodo Gen experience with custom instructions and other settings.
Open Qodo Gen Chat by clicking the Qodo Gen icon in your Extensions or Plugins bar.
Click the three dots icon on the top right.
Choose Chat Preferences.
In the Chat Preferences window, you can configure:
Add custom instructions for Qodo Gen Chat to follow in conversations.
You can configure specific instructions for specific commands by clicking the Add a specific command button, or set general instructions for all commands by adding them under All messages.
These preferences affect the Terminal Agentic Tool available when using Qodo Gen in Agentic Mode.
Allowed commands: Set terminal commands that will be automatically executed by the agent, no approval needed. Other terminal commands will require approval.
Blocked commands: Set terminal commands that will be automatically blocked by the agent.
These preferences affect the code editor. They're only available to set when using Qodo Gen in Standard Mode.
Wrap text in code blocks: Set whether code would be wrapped in code blocks.
Editor buttons: Enable or disable the appearance of editor buttons above functions and classes.
Enable or disable Code Completion features.
Under Custom Instructions, you can instruct Qodo Gen to follow certain rules. These rules can be followed by all messages in Qodo Gen or by specific commands only.
Here, we've instructed Qodo Gen to "Answer in 5 lines max" on all messages, and "Answer in Italian" specifically for /ask commands.
Asking Qodo Gen a question, we can see it follows the instructions.
